Nets were 3-3 last time Ben Simmons played. They’re 18-27 now. Not necessarily exclusive to Ben, but his ability to control the pace changes the game and helped the offense.

#Nets rookie Dariq Whitehead underwent successful surgery today for a stress reaction in his left shin. With an expected recovery period of about 3 months, he’ll miss the season but should be a full participant in the offseason development program. – 5:19 PM

Big 12 schedule is out tomorrow, so I’ll reiterate my take from a few months ago that got people upset.
Utah-BYU was scheduled for Sept. 7 before expansion. The Big 12 should keep it there, making it Utah’s conference debut.

“We need Ben to come out locked in.”
Three-time All-Star Ben Simmons is back after missing 38 straight games. Brooklyn should showcase a better product at both ends of the court because of it.
Temper expectations, though. Give it time.
