As the above reactions suggest, the fans have not taken Simmons’ latest update lightly. His controversial history with the Philadelphia 76ers has also been addressed by some fans.

Kevin Durant leading the team by example

The Brooklyn Nets have had a horrible start to the season. After 15 games, they have a record of 6-9 and are currently 12th in the Eastern Conference.

However, there has been a silver lining in the form of Kevin Durant. The former NBA champ is averaging 30.3 points, 6.5 rebounds, and 5.3 assists. Despite having some troubles with the team during the offseason, KD has managed to put all things aside and put up such phenomenal numbers.
