Brooklyn Nets guard Ben Simmons will miss the remainder of the season due to a nerve impingement in his lower back, the team announced Thursday.
Simmons and the Nets’ medical staff are speaking with numerous experts to determine the best course of action for his long-term health. The same injury forced a premature end to Simmons’ previous campaign.
Earlier this week, Simmons’ agent, Bernie Lee, took the blame for his client’s lingering back issue.
