Ben Simmons is now taking some shots at Nets practice, but fans will be disappointed to hear there’s no change in his timetable to return.
And now according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, “There’s “no chance” Ben Simmons plays in the Nets-76ers matchup on March 10.”

NBA Twitter expressed their disappointment shortly after the Woj-bomb dropped.
“Of course he ain’t gonna play, he don’t wanna show his face in Philly,” one user replied.

“That’s the easiest story Woj has ever had to break,” tweeted CBS Sports radio’s Andrew Perloff. “Did anyone think he was playing?”

Ben Simmons is reportedly recovering from a back issue as he prepares to play in an NBA game for the first time in nine months. He’s said to have been dealing with the back pain for about a week and has yet to be cleared for practice.
It looks like it’s still going to be some time before Simmons is ready to ramp it up and get back into game shape.
