Nets' Ben Simmons: Available Sunday, out Monday
Ben Simmons (back) is available for Sunday's game against the Pistons, but the Brooklyn Nets plan to hold him out for Monday's matchup with the Grizzlies for lower-back injury management, Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports.On Sunday, Simmons will make his sixth appearance in the Nets' first seven games of the season, with his other absence having come back on Oct. 29 in the front end of a back-to-back set.
