3 years agoBrooklyn Nets guard Ben Simmons (back) will undergo surgery on Thursday to address a herniated disc. The former LSU Tiger was traded by the Philadelphia 76ers ahead of the deadline. However, he never played a game for either club during the 2021-22 campaign because of the ailment as well as mental health issues. The 25-year-old is expected to be out for up to four months but be ready for training camp. Yet, considering Simmons' history, who knows when he'll actually make his debut for the Nets, with the uncertainty reducing his fantasy stock. His shoddy shooting percentages over the years won't do him any favors either, especially for the managers participating in category leagues.--Dennis Clausen - RotoBaller
