Ben Simmons has back surgery once more. According to the Nets, he should be prepared for training camp.
NEW YORK (AP) — For the second time in three years, Ben Simmons has undergone back surgery. Both he and the Brooklyn Nets are hopeful that this procedure will bring him the relief he needs to play out the whole season.
According to the Nets, Simmons underwent a microscopic partial discectomy on Thursday in order to relieve his lower back’s pinched nerve. Dr. Timur Urakov carried out the procedure at UHealth Jackson Memorial Medical Center after consulting with Dr. Barth Green.
