NBA stars are very famous themselves, so for a lot of people, Simmons is probably the most notable contact in their phones.

The three-time NBA All-Star is going into his fourth season as a member of the Nets organization.

That said, he has been unable to stay healthy and only appeared in 57 games with the franchise over the previous three years.

Last season, Simmons averaged 6.1 points, 7.9 rebounds and 5.7 assists per contest while shooting 58.1% from the field in 15 games.

The Nets were the 11th seed in the Eastern Conference with a 32-50 record.

They missed the NBA playoffs for the first time since the 2018 season (six years ago).

The Nets will play three more preseason games against the Washington Wizards, Philadelphia 76ers and Toronto Raptors.

On October 23, they will open up the regular season when they visit Trae Young and the Atlanta Hawks at State Farm Arena in Georgia.

Simmons is entering his ninth season in the NBA (seventh playing).
