Brooklyn Nets guard Ben Simmons and his Clutch Sports group are parting techniques, according to ESPN’s Ramona Shelburne. Simmons and Clutch have been operating collectively considering that Simmons was chosen No. 1 out of LSU in the 2016 NBA Draft by the Philadelphia 76ers. A lot more importantly, Shelburne points out that Klutch was the 1 who negotiated Simmons’ 5-year, $177 million extension in 2019.
According to Shelburne, Simmons and Clutch are parting techniques mainly because Simmons demands a fresh commence. The Aussie has played in just 42 of a probable 70 games for the Nets this season due to a selection of injuries, which includes knee and back discomfort that are at present sidelining him.
This season comes on the heels of Simmons sitting out the very first half of final season as a member of the 76ers mainly because he no longer wanted to play for the group, citing mental overall health troubles. Simmons was traded to Brooklyn about final season’s trade deadline, but missed the rest of the season following back surgery. Nets coach Jacques Vaughn lately stated Simmons is generating progress in rehabbing from his injury, but there is no timetable for his return.
