Brooklyn Nets Confirm Star Is Out Indefinitely

The saga of Ben Simmons is one that has been dragging on for quite some time, dating back to his final year in Philadelphia, and after seeing his two All-Star teammates traded from the Nets, it hasn't stopped the drama.

On Friday, the Brooklyn Nets officially announced that Simmons would be out indefinitely, and while he's already been missing for quite some time, the team were hoping to get him back at some point ahead of a potential playoff matchup with the Cleveland Cavaliers or Philadelphia 76ers.

When Simmons has played, he's looked like a shell of his former self, but hopefully if he can get this latest injury dealt with, he can get back on the court and back to looking like the perennial All-Star that he was once seen as.
