The Brooklyn Nets are going to be just a few miles down the road when they visit the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden in New York City on Sunday afternoon. 

For the game, Ben Simmons has been ruled out, and his status can be seen in the tweet that is embedded below from the Twitter account of Alex Schiffer of The Athletic. 

Simmons was traded from the Philadelphia 76ers to the Nets last month, but has yet to make his debut for his new team.  

The Nets come into the game as the eighth seed in the Eastern Conference with a 34-33 record in the 67 games that they have played in so far this season.  

They are 4-6 in their last ten games, but are currently in the middle of a two-game winning streak.  

  • DEROZAN PASSES JORDAN ON A LIST FOR THE BULLS: DeMar DeRozan and the Chicago Bulls have been on a roll as one of the top teams in the Eastern Conference. DeRozan is a five-time All-Star in his first season in Chicago, and he passed Hall of Famer Michael Jordan on a franchise-record list. CLICK HERE.
  • STEPH AND THE WARRIORS ARE ON FIRE: The Golden State Warriors have not made the playoffs in two seasons, but that appears likely to change this season. They have been one of the best teams in the entire NBA, and Steph Curry is having an MVP-caliber year. Before missing the playoffs for two straight seasons, they had made the NBA Finals five times in a row. CLICK HERE.
