For almost ten days, Ben Simmons is stuck in the infirmary. And for good reason: he suffers from the left knee, which has bothered him since the start of the season, but also from a contracture in the calf.
The rest has done him good it seems, since the Brooklyn player sees himself back in two days against the Hawks. “I can’t wait until Friday to get back on the court”, he announces to ESPN.
Jacque Vaughn had explained the recent injuries of the former Philadelphia by “the accumulation of matches”which began “to do a lot for him”. We will therefore have to be careful from now on.
“I think we will clearly look at things differently”says Ben Simmons. “I don’t know if it’s going to translate into minutes, or more back-to-back. We will develop this together, me and the staff. I will tell them how I feel. »
Hoping this stoppage didn’t break his rhythm because, at the time of his injury, the former All-Star was finally in good shape with 13.6 points, 7.6 rebounds, 6.1 assists and 1.6 steals on average over the last seven games. .
