Simmons finished the year with averages of 6.1 points, 7.9 rebounds and 5.7 assists per contest while shooting 58.1% from the field in 15 games (Simmons missed 67 games).

The Nets also had a tough season, as they were the 12th seed in the Eastern Conference with a 32-50 record.

They missed the NBA playoffs (and the play-in tournament).

Simmons was the first pick in the 2016 NBA Draft out of LSU and came into the league with superstar expectations.

He spent the first five years of his career with the Philadelphia 76ers and was an NBA All-Star three times.

However, Simmons has dealt with a lot of injuries, so he has been unable to reach his potential.

The 27-year-old has one more year on his contract and will become a free agent next summer.
