GM Sean Marks has said Ben Simmons should be ready to go next season. But can he return to form?

Nets ' General Manager Sean Marks gave an update just a few weeks ago saying: “All signs point towards him being available for the start of next season. With Ben it’s very unfortunate, we looked like we were a completely different team when Ben was healthy out there. So it’s paramount that we get him back and we get him healthy."A former No.

In his last few seasons, Simmons has been unable to return to form, not playing in 2021-22 and averaging just 6.7 points, 6.7 rebounds and 6.0 assists in 57 games across the last two seasons.Now, following his second surgery, is returning to his previous production going to be doable? The history doesn’t bode well for him.

Countless NBA players have suffered back injuries both small and serious, all of which have hindered them and even caused a few early retirements. While the 27-year-old Simmons can certainly rebound from it, history certainly isn’t on his side with such a serious injury that's required multiple surgeries.

Regardless, Simmons’ has just one year left on his five-year, $177 million contract, which should be valuable for teams looking to add cap space next offseason. If he can indeed get back to positive ball, his future with the Nets could be extended.
