Nets coach Steve Nash told reporters on Tuesday that there was no new update on the timetable for when Ben Simmons will play in his first game with Brooklyn.
Nash said that Simmons was moving more, shooting and completing one-on-zero drill work. The three-time All-Star has not been running full speed yet and has plenty of bench marks to clear, according to Nash.
The news on Tuesday concerning Simmons comes two days after there was reportedly a certain level of optimism that the Nets star could make his team debut during the first round of the NBA playoffs against the Celtics, according to The Athletic’s Shams Charania.
