The Nets again played without Ben Simmons or without much clarity, at least released publicly, about Simmons’ knee.
Simmons, who had been listed as questionable, missed his second straight game with left knee soreness during Monday’sat Barclays Center, where he joined Kevin Durant, LeBron James and Anthony Davis as standouts unable to play.
Simmons exited Thursday’s loss to the Pistons in the third quarter while playing in a game for a second consecutive day. He also sustained knee soreness in late November while playing on the back end of a back-to-back, and he proceeded to miss the next four games. “I think our conversations [with Simmons] will be real and what can we handle from a management and load perspective, cumulative loads across the board over the course of games,” Vaughn said of Simmons, who did not play last season with mental health concerns and the back injury. “So all those questions will be on the table in order for us to keep our group healthy and whole as we trend toward the end of the year.
T.J. Warren missed a second straight game with a left shin contusion. Vaughn said the wing also is hopeful to play Wednesday and is progressing.
