Ben Simmons back on Friday?
Kristian Winfield: Ben Simmons is targeting Friday’s matchup against the Atlanta Hawks to come back from his calf strain. Simmons said it’s frustrating because he was starting to turn a corner and play closer to his potential. Said the minutes load and back-to-backs will be monitored. #Nets

Ben Simmons said his goal is to be healthy for the end of the season. He wants to play tomorrow but knows the smart thing is to pace himself and play in one of this weekend’s back-to-back games.

Ben Simmons said he felt his leg get tight at the end of the Nets’ win over Portland on. Nov. 27. It returned early against the Magic the following day, which is why he asked out of the game. – 12:24 PM

Jacque Vaughn said he doesn’t have much of an update on Ben Simmons. He will come in for treatment tomorrow, but hasn’t heard anything new from the training staff. Seems like Tuesday’s practice will have more clarity. – 8:34 PM

Final: Celtics beat the Nets 103-92 to snap BK’s four-game winning streak. KD had 31, Joe Harris continues to look better, but an ugly night on both sides of the ball. Hornets come to town Wednesday, followed by ATL on Fri. Both winnable. Is Ben Simmons back by then? – 8:18 PM

More on this storyline
If I told you that you’d lead the NBA three-point percentage, what would you have said, and how have you done it so far? Yuta Watanabe: It’s crazy. I’ve always known I could shoot, but 57 percent? That’s impossible. I’m not expecting myself to keep up that number, but I’m going to keep shooting with confidence. The reason I’m shooting well is because of KD (Kevin Durant), Ben (Simmons), and Kyrie (Irving). I’m playing with those greats. They get doubled all the time, so I’m always open, and my job is to make those wide-open shots. -via HoopsHype / December 3, 2022
