Steve Nash Gives Update On Ben Simmons

Brooklyn Nets head coach Steve Nash was asked about Ben Simmons before the Nets played the Detroit Pistons.

Before the Brooklyn Nets faced the Detroit Pistons on Tuesday evening, Steve Nash met with the media.     

One of the talking points was a few questions from a reporter about Ben Simmons, who has yet to suit up in a game for the Nets since being traded from the Philadelphia 76ers last month.  

Status alert: Ben Simmons (back) still has not done any on-court work and hasn't made any progress, per coach Nash.

Nash: "No."

Reporter: "Has he had another MRI? We know he had one a few weeks ago." 

Nash: "I don't believe so, no."
