[NetsDaily] I’m told Ben Simmons will not play in FIBA World Cup in August, that he and the Nets decided it’s not worth cutting short his rehab by three weeks. Meanwhile, Nets upbeat about his prospects this season and he’s looking forward to Paris Olympics in 2024. More later.

No shocker there. Hoping for the best with Ben but ignoring all his summer ‘news’. Let him show the fans with his play. Kind of tired of his will he or won’t he headlines.
Fine by me. Rehab is more important.
As a Boomers fan, I’m kind of relieved to hear this because he can stay focused on rehab plan instead of rushing himself back to play and risking further injury.
Ben is just asking to get flamed…
Sounds like typical bullshit but whatever
This is the way
Ben is going to be an animal this season. I can’t wait for him to shit on all the haters. You nets fans that hated, I can’t wait for you to be humbled and shut up 🤫
Would have been nice to see him play so we can see if he has his game still. He could use the reps. Three weeks doesn’t seem huge in an 18-month rehab.
Is it just me or at this point, I don’t want to trade Simmons? I’m more interested in his upside potential than the small reward we’d get from letting him go
I’ll believe in Ben when i see him actually playing like his old self.
Ben letting down people yet again lmao
If the likelihood of him playing was slim why didn’t they shouldn’t have been playing it up, now he’s saving face but all that play up and hype for absolutely nothing.
If they don’t move this man from my team.
I feel like I could make a 10000 bet he wouldn’t be ready (or still not up to par) for opening night either
I want Ben to prove me wrong the thing is I just don’t see it happening.
