NBA: Australian Luke Travers scores his first points in the NBA during his debut for the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Ben Simmons’ Nets fell to the Detroit Pistons 106-92 in an early-morning clash on Monday to snap a two-game winning streak for Brooklyn.
The Aussie’s high-level playmaking was on full display against Detroit including some flashy and effective moments. In fact, Simmons has attempted a total of just four free throws this season — which all came in one game against the Orlando Magic — a significant drop off from when he averaged just under five per game in his first four NBA seasons.

But he’s done good. We like where he is at right now,” coach Jordi Fernandez said over the weekend.
“I want to see Nic play every game,” Fernandez said. “We’ll assess him then we will decide if he’ll play the first, second, or both. And there’s a chance for everything. It’s just based on how he is feeling.”
