Is Ben Simmons finally going to get that long-awaited redemption? The point guard’s return to the Nets’ side might be an indication of that. The Australian played 32 minutes in the Nets’ last game against the Dallas Mavericks. The 27-year-old displayed a fairly impressive performance in the match, where they eventually lost. Luka Doncic’s rather impossible stunner gave Mavs the upper hand though. However, it seems like Ben Simmons is not bothered by the two marginal defeats at the start of the season. He is on a different mission altogether.

Wonder what hope he brings to his fans, having failed at his redemption promises earlier?

Staying Fit Throughout the Season

Simmons is one of the injured-prone players who sat almost half a season on the bench due to unforeseen circumstances. Since his debut in the NBA, he suffered multiple times due to back injury, knee injury, sore elbow, and many more. At this point, he just wants to remain fit and stop the criticisms hurled at him.

In an Instagram post shared by Simmons himself, the caption reads, “Many more to come. 2/82”. He clearly eyes at staying fit the entire season and doing wonders for the Brooklyn Nets. He sure has the capability, and the required hype from fans as well.

Simmons scored a total of 10 points, 10 rebounds, and 8 assists in the last match. While the numbers do not always do the justification, the extra effort given by Simmons was not to be ignored.

Fans React To Fresh Prince’s Comeback

Fans are evidently overjoyed by Simmons’ gameplay and want more from him. The showers of praise in the comment box is a proof of it. At the same time, some fans did not leave a chance to mock him. In reply to his caption, a fan mentioned, “It will be 56/82 at the end of the season due to a back issue.” 

While an optimistic fan commented, “Your last chance for NBA relevance. We, your fans, hope you get your act together before all NBA executives shut the door on your talent! Good luck and don’t blow it. We wish you all well.” His previous team Sixers fans also wished him well.

Once hailed as a generational talent, can Simmons find his way to greatness? Can he sustain an injury-free season? If he does, the Nets have a long way to go in the league.
