Simmons ended with zero points (0-3 FG), four rebounds, eight assists and one block across 22 minutes during Sunday's 114-104 loss to the Knicks. There's no question that the Nets need more from Simmons on the offensive end of the court, and the Australian went scoreless in a game that could've easily had a different outcome had he been more aggressive on offense. Simmons has failed to reach double-digit points in each of his 10 games this season, and his lack of scoring prowess certainly undermines his fantasy value. He's averaging 7.0 assists, 5.8 rebounds and a combined 1.3 steals and blocks per game, but he's scoring a career-low 5.3 points per contest.

Simmons is in the Nets' starting lineup for Friday's game against the Knicks, Ian Begley of SportsNet New York reports. Simmons will return Friday from a one-game absence due to calf tightness, and he will start at center as Nic Claxton is sidelined due to a lower back strain. Across his six starts this season, Simmons has averaged 5.8 points, 6.2 assists and 6.0 rebounds over 24.5 minutes per game.

Simmons (calf) isn't on the injury report for Friday's game versus the Knicks, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports. Simmons will return to action Friday after missing Brooklyn's previous contest with left calf tightness. If Nic Claxton (back) is downgraded from questionable to out, Simmons could be in store for a start against the Knicks.

An MRI on Simmon's left calf came back clean Thursday and he could play in Friday's game versus the Knicks, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports. Simmons missed Brooklyn's previous contest with left calf tightness but has returned to working out. While fantasy managers should look out for an official injury report clarifying Simmons' status for Friday's game, it wouldn't be surprising for the Nets to play it cautiously with the 28-year-old.

Simmons (calf) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against Boston, Ian Begley of SportsNet New York reports. Simmons will miss his third contest of Brooklyn's last five games after posting six points, 12 assists and five rebounds over 22 minutes in Monday's win over New Orleans. His prior two absences had been attributed to back injury management in the second leg of back-to-back sets, but Simmons' absence for a standalone game Wednesday due to an unrelated calf issue creates more concern about his availability moving forward.
