In light of Ben Simmons getting an epidural and needing another two weeks before being evaluated, Dr. Neel Anand told the Post at the time the high end of his recovery would be 6 weeks from that Nov. 6 injury. Here’s that story 👇🏾 #nets nypost.com/2023/11/16/spo… via @nypostsports – 5:21 PM

More on this storyline
Tim Bontemps: Nets coach Jacque Vaughn said Ben Simmons received the epidural shot within the past week, and that he’s still not running full-speed. Reiterated the next update would be in a couple of weeks. -via Twitter @TimBontemps / December 2, 2023
Vaughn spent the summer retooling his staff, building one suited not just to coach stars but to develop everybody else. He also doubled down on communication, and we don’t just mean players talking on defense, but players, coaches and staff openly talking and building relationships. Whether that was building trust with Ben Simmons, or mitigating enough of Cam Thomas’ weaknesses to let his scoring strength show, or developing Day’Ron Sharpe’s body or Lonnie Walker IV’s potential, some of Vaughn’s best work was done in July and August, and is starting to pay dividends in November and hopefully beyond. “Oh, [the summer was] huge,” Vaughn told The Post. “Ben, in particular, the way our relationship is right now, those seeds were definitely sown in the summer. -via New York Post / December 2, 2023
CJ Holmes: The Nets will have an update regarding Ben Simmons’ status on Satuday, Jacque Vaughn said. Simmons has not played since Nov. 6 because of a lower back injury. -via Twitter @CjHolmes22 / November 30, 2023
