“I think Kevin’s probably the closest but has some time to make up still. Ben and Joe trail behind him.”

-Coach Nash gives updates on Kevin Durant, Ben Simmons, and Joe Harris. – 6:25 PM Dave Early @DavidEarly

“Conditioning, just got to try and get him to a place where he can, – you know it’s been a long lay off so he hasn’t played NBA basketball for a long time. So just try and work through that.” 

-Coach Nash’s answer if conditioning or something else is why Ben Simmons isn’t ready. – 6:17 PM Dave Early @DavidEarly

Steve Nash says the primary reason Ben Simmons isn’t in yet is conditioning. Mentions the long lay-off he’s had going back to June. – 5:51 PM Brian Lewis @NYPost_Lewis

Steve Nash says its conditioning right now thats keeping Ben Simmons off the court. #Nets – 5:51 PM Nick Friedell @NickFriedell

As Ben Simmons starts the Brooklyn chapter of his NBA career, his former teammate in Philly, Seth Curry, believes Simmons is in a much better place mentally than he’s been in a while. Curry also doesn’t think Simmons owes him an apology for his Sixers exit.espn.com/nba/story/_/id… – 3:40 PM Adam Zagoria @AdamZagoria

KD, Ben Simmons, Kyrie and Dragic all out tonight for the Nets – 10:56 AM Anthony Puccio @APOOCH

More on this storyline

“The relationship was fine,” Curry told ESPN’s Nick Friedell. “He wasn’t around. So I don’t know what [Green] meant by that. ‘Wasn’t cordial,’ I don’t know what that means, but the relationship was fine. He just wasn’t around so we didn’t see him a lot or we didn’t talk a lot. “But as far as now, he’s on my [team]. I went to battle with him last year, we did a lot of good stuff and I’m going to go to war with who I’m going to go to war with and who’s on my team, so I’m looking forward to getting back out there with him and doing good stuff.” -via NetsDaily / February 24, 2022 Based on conversations with Brooklyn figures and those close to Durant, it’s clear the Harden blockbuster trade for Ben Simmons wouldn’t have occurred without Durant’s blessing. As more and more Nets personnel faced the reality approaching the trade deadline that Harden wanted out, Durant’s approval mattered more than anyone else’s. “KD didn’t want to get rid of James,” one person familiar with the two superstars said. “But he knew it was over.” -via Bleacher Report / February 15, 2022 “Kevin was like: ‘F–k it. James isn’t bringing s–t,” another figure with knowledge of Brooklyn added. “I don’t think that would have happened without Kevin making that decision.” -via Bleacher Report / February 15, 2022
