The Brooklyn Nets are trying to stave off elimination against the Boston Celtics tonight. It doesn’t look like Ben Simmons is around to watch.
After some reports that Simmons could make his long-awaited return to the court in Game 4, the former No. 1 overall pick was ruled out by the Nets on Sunday. However, not only is Simmons not playing, but he’s reportedly not even on the bench.
Simmons’ outfit went viral on the bench on Saturday, but he’s not courtside with teammates tonight, per CBS Sports’ Michael Kaskey-Blomain.
Looks like Simmons isn’t on the #nets bench.

If Simmons really doesn’t join the bench at any point, it’s not a particularly good look at all. Sure, he might want to avoid the cameras and the fans considering he has been the target of intense criticism lately, but you still should be there with your teammates.
We’ll see if Simmons makes a late arrival courtside, or if he’s going to skip this game altogether.
Nets-Celtics Game 4 can be seen on TNT.
