  1. This is a tiny aftershock compared to the Shams nuke that was the KAT tweet.

  2. spencepoppy

    Nets 100% saw the KAT news and used it to bury this headline

  3. legend023

    Most tremendous fall off I’ve ever seen from a sports player

  4. JurgenFlippers

    So tough. I think his career is just over at this point. He cannot sustain any playing time. Brandon Roy type beat. Sometimes it happens it sucks.

  5. BatmanHive

    It’s a shame where his career has gone, he was collecting so many accolades early on. 

  6. ShukiNathan

    I hope for his own good he’s done at this point. You don’t fuck around when you have back injuries.

  7. Ronnie2kDropCode

    Back injuries are a career killer. It’s been 3 years of this, it might be over for him

  8. Acrobatic-Dog7044

    So teams are announcing all their injuries today I guess with the KAT news.

  9. LiveFrmTheGutter

    just retire and be the “young socialite” you want to be, im so deadass

  10. Vurtune011

    That hawks series really broke this man’s back, literally

  11. Icy-Lime-9760

    His contract ends next year, his career ends next year.

  12. HokageEzio

    I just hope dude’s back is fine after basketball at this point.

  13. PusseySleigher

    Ben Simmons is not a real basketball player. That guy is just a hoax at this point

  14. Assuming this is it, what a disappointing career. Dude had a lot of unreached potential.

  15. manwhatthefawk

    Dude is just finessing money. Once his contract is up end of next season he’s finished in the league.

  16. ActionHartlen

    Back injury ended my “career” too. Threw the kicks over the telephone wire last year after refusing to believe for too long

  17. throwawayjoeyboots

    The way back 2 back #1 overall picks in Simmons and Fultz’s careers have turned out is wild.

  18. Im pretty sure this is just punting whats already a dead season for the Nets.

    He was in the injury report in the last couple games with this as questionable. Unless it somehow went from questionable to play the next game to literally cant play the rest of the season overnight, Nets probably told him to just leave it and spend as much time as possible tryna fix it

  19. siphillis

    Poor guy. Had a career-ending injury and he’s the last to realize it.

  20. LetBeginning3353

    OMG it’s time for him to retire. If he doesn’t want a buyout then Nets should trade his expiring contract for a draft pick by next February. But don’t bring back any more bad contracts. I suppose worst case is they keep him all next season then renounce his rights.

  21. Good night Lightskin LeBron. You will be missed.

  22. I can give him a diagnosis for free: it’s a bulging disk. I’ve lived with it for the past 20 years just fine, and I too pass the ball when I have an open layup.

  23. Like this ain’t news. This is what is expected.

  24. locoghoul

    Osama bin Laden was a mid schooler compared to Ben Simmons

  25. What if he’s really an NBA superfan who just wanted courtside seating all along?

  26. “Next season he’s going to be his season, just you wait” said every year

  27. It’s crazy to me how much hate be gets for…being actually injured. Like he called his injury to get back surgery a year ago, as any normal person does, and now he’s been sitting out because he’s a diva…with a bad back injury that will likely take more surgery to hopefully fix.

    My sister in law just had neck surgery for a pinched nerve, and she’s “better” now, but still has pain. This stuff is no joke. Hope he can have a career again.
