Ben Simmons Misses First Nets Game Due to Injury This Season

Simmons Out: Nets Fall to Bucks

The Brooklyn Nets lost their first game of the season Wednesday night to the Milwaukee Bucks, 110-99, with Ben Simmons sitting out due to a left knee injury. This was the first game Simmons was expected to play for the Nets after missing all of last season due to a back injury.

Injury Status

Simmons is officially listed as day-to-day with left knee soreness. The Nets have not provided a timetable for his return, but he is expected to miss at least the next few games.

Impact on Nets

Simmons' absence was a big blow to the Nets, who were already without Kyrie Irving (suspension) and Seth Curry (ankle). Simmons is a key part of the Nets' defense and brings a lot of versatility to the offense.

Simmons' Return

The Nets are hopeful that Simmons will be able to return to the lineup soon. He is expected to be re-evaluated in the coming days and could potentially make his debut next week.

Looking Ahead

The Nets will face the Memphis Grizzlies on Friday night at home. They will then travel to Indiana to face the Pacers on Saturday night.
