Ben Simmons said he’s not going to be as good as he was when he made three straight All-Star Games. He insists he can be better.
It started with a cut.Now, nearly a 1 ¹/₂ years after having microdiscectomy surgery in Los Angeles to repair a herniated disc — check that, make it two herniated discs — Simmons is repairing his career in Brooklyn.
He’s just happy the two herniated discs — in the L4 and L5 areas — were caught when they were, after he missed 2021-22. Through training camp and the preseason, Simmons has looked like a new player or, more to the point, like his old self. “One of the trips for me coming to see him in Miami, one of the most special times is me seeing him on the floor and him be able to explode and get up and down the floor,” Vaughn told The Post. “And I came over to him, and I just said, ‘The smile you have on your face is something I’ve been waiting to see.’ I’ve missed that.
Simmons teased that in limited preseason minutes, leading the Nets in assists and creating clean 3-point looks with his pace.“There’s always so much criticism out there, a lot of noise. But if you’re not healthy, you’re just unfairly judged,” Miami head coach Erik Spoelstra said. “But he’s moving great. And he’s always been a unique talent.”
