The Brooklyn Nets aren’t planning to use Ben Simmons for both legs of back-to-backs for the foreseeable future.
Head coach Jordi Fernández told reporters the veteran guard will be out against the Denver Nuggets on Tuesday night with the Nets turning around and playing the Memphis Grizzlies on Wednesday. This is the plan the team will follow until it says otherwise.
