Ben’s ramp-up timeline as a Net starting to feel like the final season of Attack on Titan
That does not sound good
PSA: Apparently its contagious and you can get it by just watching him play. Be careful out there people.
Another season, another injury.
How long till he’s out of the league?
Damn he really is going from a max to a min. next contract…..I can’t believe how quickly things fell apart
Sad day for the rockets pick
It’s been recurring now, that sounds scary basketball wise as well as in general
Damn. Dude has sciatica issues.
This injury sounds pretty scary
Sounds like sciatica
Oh no his body is just kind of cooked.
sucks to see. he was looking a lot better in the games he was playing, but this doesn’t sound good. back surgery is already a lot to come back from
The 2024-25 offseason training vids are going to be so hype 😤😤😤
Brian Cashman said that’s just part of his game.
I remember when Dame (accidentally) hit Nash during a preseason game, it caused nerve damage and it took Nash out for a while
Yeah, I’m willing to say that after this contract he’s not playing in the NBA anymore
There’s not enough Gabapentin in the world to fix this man. It’s a wrap
Ben Simmons and Robert Williams already being injured this early in the season is just sad
Of course. Right on time
He might be on his last contract
At least he is set to make $200 mil in his career
Retired at 29-30 with millions in your bank account, not bad at all.
I don’t think you guys understand just how painful and debilitating a nerve irritation is. Genuinely hoping the best for Ben, unlikely as it may be.
But r/nba told me he was faking his injury??
This doesn’t sound much different than the nerve irritation that occurred somewhere between his two ears that caused him to miss much of the last two seasons.
Oh no, shocked.
That man irritates my nerves too
he definitely irritates my nerves
Not surprised. The whole NBA has been irritated and on their last nerve with Ben Simmons. Oh wait…. I read that wrong.
He should just retire
All those hours in his gaming chair.
Absolutely feel for the guy despite the way he left the sixers. Back injuries are so fucking debilitating and seriously impact QOL. Getting to the point where he should consider hanging em up and saving his body for when he’s older. Sucks to see.
The nerve of that guy!
Lmfao this is agent speak
He probably had lumbar radiculopathy and will always have injury issues but they don’t want it phrased that way
IG told me it was comeback szn
Damn, this dude really secured the biggest bench sitting bag in the history of the nba
Bum
The NBA Media owes him an apology for all the insults they’ve thrown his way during his rehab/recovery.
Insult his play, his mentality on the court, etc. but this dude may be damaged goods.
