Ben Simmons sets a date of return

Brooklyn Nets are set to get a good boost to their lineup ahead of the first-round playoff series with the Boston Celtics. Ben Simmons is set to make a comeback during the Games 4 and 6 of the Eastern Conference quarterfinals, the 25-year-old has almost not played a match after asking for a trade from the Philadelphia 76ers last season then after moving to the Nets this year the back soreness kept him out of play for a while.

Simmons's comeback is a good boost to Nets who is dealing with a host of injuries going into the playoffs. With Philadelphia Ben averaged 14.3 points and 6.9 assists per game in the last season now with the Nets he would get a chance to play with Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving and the Nets can pull off a win as well.
