Brooklyn Nets guard Ben Simmons might play in Friday's home game against the San Antonio Spurs, per head coach Jordi Fernandez after Thursday's win.

Ben Simmons finished with eight points, four rebounds, nine assists and one steal while shooting 4/9 from the field in 28 minutes of playing time. Many fans reacted to his performance on social media.

The Nets were playing well at the start of this season, too well. For a team that had shipped away Mikal Bridges in the summer, receiving a haul of first-round picks in the process, the expectation was that Brooklyn would be cellar dwellers for most of the 2024-25 season.
