Ben Simmons has been in the news for all the reasons he would not want to be. He is far from making an appearance on the court and has not played all season. Firstly due to his mental health in the Philadelphia 76ers and then due to his multiple injury struggles in the Brooklyn Nets after being traded before the deadline in February.
There have been many sources that have reported about his probable return to action but none have come true so far. All predictions and projections have failed because unfortunately, Simmons has not shown signs of full fitness. There has been news that he has worked on his fitness but he was far from making a comeback at the end of the regular season.

The fans have not been kind to Ben Simmons in the whole absence. Where Simmons? injury and unavailability are understandable and unfortunate, the anger from fans also makes sense.

The reports did not generate optimism and that was understandable because there have been such reports before but it did not transpire his return. However, fans were also positive in case Ben Simmons does make a comeback. Because in all honesty Ben Simmons has the talent to get excited for and he is a quality player.
Nice but Boston will give him HELL

If Ben Simmons does make his debut in the 7 game series of the first round in the playoffs, he can be beneficial to the Nets. His quality, talent, and physicality can be a huge asset to the team. But only time will tell if he will make his debut or not, and if he does how he fares against a top Boston side.
