Simmons is injured again! I just fell down as soon as I came back! Public enemy number one of the NBA capitalists!
After a 38-game break, Simmons was finally willing to return to the court.
In the game against Utah, he had a triple-double of 10 points, 8 rebounds and 11 assists with 10 points, 8 rebounds and 11 assists, and also got 1 block and 1 block, 5 of which were 100% shooting.
Simmons became the first man in NBA history to play 18 minutes 10+5+10 and led the Nets to their best team game of all time, contributing 41 assists compared to his previous 32 and beating the Jazz 147-114.
Will this kind of performance make Simmons have to give him a base salary or even retire after the end of his contract in the next year? Isn't Mr. Cai still mentally building for his new contract?
Sorry, it's a little early to be happy.
He suddenly thought of a professional who once said something Simmons said: "He's good at basketball, but he doesn't play much." ”
He had a lot of mental endurance and just came back to play when he strained his knee in the game against Utah.
The defender lost his balance in mid-air, and Tucker Jr. couldn't protect him in time, making it difficult to avoid injury.
Although Simmons' injury was self-inflicted, he was injured in the first game, which made a lot of people a little used to it and a little numb.
This time, he suffered a serious knee injury and was afraid that he would have to get a no-fight card again.
According to ESPN, the Nets' next game against Phoenix saw Simmons' form drop to 50 percent.
If he does stop playing, it will be more than just a rest, he is more worried that after a period of rest, he will be disqualified from all games, in which case, he will become a nightmare for NBA capitalists again.
Even after losing his offense and shooting, Simmons is still strong in the rest of the NBA, and if he can keep his body, his next new contract will be $10 million.
The problem is, he can't keep going forever, with a total of 49 appearances in the '21-24 season, his attendance is extremely poor, and he can even be said to be one of the most mysterious players in the NBA.
If his physical condition continues to be poor and there is no trend of recovery, then even if Simmons returns to his career, he may not be able to get a new NBA contract next summer.
No matter how talented and powerful an athlete is, if he can't play, then there is nothing!
