Having sneaked their way into the NBA playoffs, things haven’t gone to plan for the Brooklyn Nets. After a poor couple of outings, Kevin Durant and co. find themselves down 0-2 to the Boston Celtics. However, the side may receive a major boost, and it could come soon. And the news involves none other than their latest signing, Ben Simmons.

The 2021-22 season has been full of ups and downs for the Nets. They were looking unbeatable, suffered some detrimental injuries, and came back to make the top-8.

During the transfer window, Steve Nash’s men swapped James Harden for the estranged 76ers guard in Ben Simmons. However, the 25-year-old hasn’t been in full fitness, and is yet to play a game for Durant’s side. But after the latest update, fans went berserk on social media.

As reported by the ever-so-reliable Shams Charania, Simmons is expected to make his debut during the Nets vs Celtics series. A former All-Defensive Team member, he could get his first minutes as early as Game-4 of the seven match series. Notably though, all of this depends on the 3-time All-Star’s recovery and rehab. Do you think he will feature in this season? Regardless, fans are certainly excited.

Taking to Twitter after the latest report, Nets and NBA fans were extremely expressive. They now believe that the tide can turn, and Simmons’ return could pose a potential threat.

While one fan claimed, “League is shaking”, several others were shocked at what they had read. Interestingly, many were unimpressed too, and opined that the Celtics will comfortably go through. Here are the best reactions.
