Thankfully, Simmons was fine and continued playing.

The former LSU star got off to a good start to the game with six points, five rebounds, five assists and one block while shooting 3/4 from the field in 13 minutes of playing time.

In addition, the Nets led by a score of 55-51 at halftime.

Over the last three seasons, Simmons only appeared in 57 games.

He finished the 2024-25 season with averages of 6.1 points, 7.9 rebounds and 5.7 assists per contest while shooting 58.1% from the field in 15 games.

When Simmons is on the floor, he is a very talented player (who has made three NBA All-Star Games).

Via Billy Reinhardt: "Ben Simmons with a 6 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists, 1 block like in 13 first half minutes.

Triple double watch. Should have 3-4 more assists too. He has looked good.

Really, everyone has played decently well, especially after Cam Thomas’ strong close to the half."
