A reported setback will likely keep Nets star Ben Simmons sidelined for the foreseeable future.
Simmons is reportedly dealing with back soreness stemming from his reconditioning, per Shams Charania of The Athletic. The injury will require the former All-Star to further strengthen the area for a "period of time" before he can return to play.
Brooklyn, who acquired Simmons in a blockbuster deal with the 76ers for James Harden on deadline day, remains without a set timetable for the 25-year-old to make his highly-anticipated debut, per Charania. He is currently considered day-to-day.
