Steve Nash says Ben Simmons is in good spirits in Brooklyn | NBA

Amid the recent months’ imbroglio between Ben Simmons and the 76ers, there has been much talk about the player’s mental health. “It’s not about setting up a trade anymore, it’s about being able to help Ben regain his mental strength and get back on the pitch”, his agent, Rich Paul, said in November. Since then, the transfer to the Nets has taken place and the player seems to have made good progress in the direction of a return.

Asked before facing the Kings, Steve Nash considers today that his recruit is well in his head. We saw him yesterday when he went to greet Kevin Durant with a smile during the morning shootaround, then on the Nets bench from where he followed the performances of his teammates at the 76ers, Seth Curry and Andre Drummond .

If we work together with him, along with his physical build-up, to make sure he’s comfortable on and off the court, I think he’ll be ready to play mentally when he will be physically ready “Judges the Nets coach.

But the latter does not yet have a recovery date to communicate. It will be ” to the technical staff to assess the player, especially physically, before sending him back to the court. Floors that the left-hander has not trod on since May 2021 and the elimination of the Sixers against the Hawks, during the last playoffs.

Steve Nash evokes the idea of ​​a common return decision, between the player and the staff. The challenge for the latter is to allow Ben Simmons ” to have the necessary physical form. He must also feel confident and comfortable when the time is right. When this is the case, we hope that we will agree on these decisions.

It should come naturally “, adds the technician who does not want the bad dynamic in progress at the Nets (11 defeats in a row before this night) to precipitate the debut of Ben Simmons. ” It’s painful to lose matches. At the same time, one must have the big picture in mind. And even if we try to win every night, we can’t skip stages. We have to be as thoughtful and methodical as possible in our approach.
