Simmons and the Nets hope for his return to the lineup by Game 4-6 in their first-round series against the Boston Celtics. Simmons hasn’t played at all this season due to a conflict with the 76ers, a mental health battle, and a lower back injury that has bothered him since midway through March.
Nash also revealed that Simmons played in some 4-on-4 drills and that he “came through it well” afterward.
Game 2 of the Celtics-Nets series takes place tomorrow in TD Garden.
