NEW YORK — Nets head coach Steve Nash says there’s no updated timetable for the injured Ben Simmons to make his season debut, even though reports to the contrary surfaced in recent days.
The Athletic’s NBA newsbreaker, Shams Charania, reported on Sirius XM’s “The Pat McAfee Show” that Simmons, who has been hampered by a herniated disk in his lower back, could make his debut as soon as Game 3 in the Nets’ first-round playoff matchup, potentially against the Boston Celtics if they win Tuesday night’s Play-In Tournament game against the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Nash pleaded ignorance to the reports and said nothing has changed with regard to Simmons.
