The Brooklyn Nets are hosting the Cleveland Cavaliers for the play-in tournament on Tuesday at Barclays Center, and for the game they will remain without All-Star forward Ben Simmons. 

Before the contest, head coach Steve Nash was asked about Simmons

"I have no idea," Nash said in reference to a report about Simmons. "I don't know where these reports come from. We have no update on the timetable, so I don't think that came from us."

Simmons came over to the Nets in a trade earlier this season that sent James Harden to the Philadelphia 76ers. 

He has yet to play in a game so far during the 2021-22 NBA season with the 76ers or Nets. 

The winner of Tuesday's game heads to the NBA Playoffs as the seventh seed in the Eastern Conference. 

  • KEMBA WALKER CAN STILL HELP A CONTENDING TEAM: Kemba Walker's tenure with the New York Knicks appears to have ended. However, I still believe that the four-time NBA All-Star can be a productive player. Especially on a team that is contending for an NBA Championship. He has played for the Charlotte Hornets, Boston Celtics and Knicks over his 11-year NBA career. CLICK HERE.
  • CAN KRISTAPS STILL BE AN ALL-STAR? Ben Stinar and Haley Jordan sat down to talk about Washington Wizards star Kristaps Porzingis in a recent episode of Stinar For 3. Porzingis was traded from the Dallas Mavericks to the Washington Wizards at the NBA Trading Deadline. He has not been an All-Star since 2018, when he was on the New York Knicks. CLICK HERE.
