Ben Simmons could be on the verge of a return to the court after he was upgraded from out to questionable for the Nets’ game Monday against the Mavericks.
. He wasn’t been with the Nets for the start of their current trip — which opened with wins at Washington and Charlotte — and instead remained back in Brooklyn. Simmons is averaging 6.2 points, 7.3 assists and 6.5 rebounds, although he is shooting just 44.4 percent from the free-throw line.
When Simmons returns , it remains to be seen how interim coach Jacque Vaughn will deploy him. With Kyrie Irving suspended, Vaughn has started Edmond Sumner at point guard to push the pace and has gone small to help the defense. Yuta Watanabe, who was in the closing lineup versus the Hornets on Saturday, has averaged 10.7 points, on 65 percent shooting and 60 percent from 3-point range, in his last three games. Nic Claxton’s 24 blocks through 10 games are the most by a Net since 2015-16, and his 72.7 percent shooting is the best start for the franchise since 2014-15.
