57 assists in 8 games! Simmons is not injured! Contract year refusal to scam

Simmons, who just played two good games before he was injured, missed the Nets' recent 114-139 Celtics game at home due to a calf injury.

There was garbage time in this battle, but Choi Yong-hee still didn't get a chance to play......

Closer to home, the good news is that according to Lewis,Simmons' left calf tension underwent an MRI, which showed that everything was normal and that he has returned to practice, and the Nets have officially confirmed that he will return for the game against the Knicks.

A false alarm, a false alarm.

Simmons is in a contract year this season, and if he suffers from injuries again, he will really have to pack up and leave the NBA to report to the CBA next summer.

I'm sorry, the CBA's first requirement for foreign aid is to have a super offensive level, so not all NBA players want it.

Since being traded to Brooklyn by Philadelphia in early '22, Simmons has been reimbursed for his first season with the Nets, playing 42 games in his second season, 15 games in his third season, and eight appearances so far this season, for a total of 65 games.

And since coming to the Nets, Simmons' offensive skill package and self-confidence have all been lost, and in the three seasons he played, he averaged about 5 shots per game and scored no more than 7 points per game in a single season, but he is only 28 years old now, and he is in the golden age of basketball players.

Fortunately, Simmons' defense and passing are still on the line, and he has special organizational skills, averaging a team-high 7.1 offenses in less than 25 minutes per game this season, with a total of 57 assists in eight games, ranking first in the league in an assist rate of 47.1 and fourth in the league with an assist rate of 43.5%.

Therefore, considering Simmons' age and the defensive organization is acceptable, as long as he can at least maintain long-term health this season, even if he has no independent offensive ability, he should still have no new contract next summer, but it is obviously a fool's dream to get another salary cap.

Simmons was hailed as James' successor when he debuted, and he was selected as an All-Star in his second year, and his future is limitless.

However, the genuine James is almost 40 years old and still kills all sides, and James' successor has to worry about whether he can stay in the NBA at the age of 28.

It can only be said that there is often a big discrepancy between the ideal and the reality!
