Lauren Rosen of FanDuelTVreports that Los Angeles Clippers forwardBen Simmons(knee) is available for Friday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. He's been out the last seven games due to what the team is calling injury management on his left knee. Since being traded away from Brooklyn, Simmons has appeared in five contests, averaging 6.8 points, 5.2 rebounds, 5.0 assists, and 1.4 steals across 21.2 minutes per game. The 28-year-old hasn't seen game action since February 28th, so his minutes will likely be limited. Amir CoffeyandDerrick Jones Jr.should still get a share of minutes. Neither one is recommended as a streaming option except for deep leagues.

Los Angeles Clippers forward Ben Simmons (knee) has a chance to return from his seven-game absence to face the Atlanta Hawks on Friday. He's been out due to what the team is calling injury management on his left knee. Since being traded away from Brooklyn, Simmons has appeared in five games and averages 6.8 points, 5.2 rebounds, 5.0 assists, and 1.4 steals across 21.2 minutes per game. If he remains sidelined, however, Amir Coffey and Derrick Jones Jr. should still see the bulk of the bench minutes. Neither one is strongly recommended as streaming options except for very deep leagues.

Los Angeles Clippers guard/forward Ben Simmons (knee) won't travel with the team for the upcoming three-game road trip. Simmons has missed the last five games and will sit out at least three more contests. When healthy, Simmons was actually a decent fantasy option for the Clippers, but it's unclear when he's going to play again. In the meantime, Amir Coffey and Derrick Jones Jr. should see increased roles in the rotation. Neither player is an ideal fantasy option, but they could offer some deep league value.

Los Angeles Clippers guard/forward Ben Simmons (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Friday's game against the New York Knicks. Simmons will now miss his fourth game in a row due to a left knee injury. Simmons was actually a decent streaming option when he was healthy, but now it's unclear when he'll get back on the floor. His next chance to play will be against the Sacramento Kings on Sunday. Both Amir Coffey and Derrick Jones Jr. should see increased roles in the rotation until Simmons returns. Jones is the better streaming choice between the two forwards right now.

Los Angeles Clippers guard/center Ben Simmons (knee) will remain out for Tuesday's tilt against the Phoenix Suns. He is forced to miss a second straight game due to a sore left knee. After building up some good momentum, Simmons has once again encountered health issues, and he may miss several games in quick succession as the Clippers head into a stretch of three games in four nights. With Simmons sidelined on Sunday against the Los Angeles Lakers, Nicolas Batum and Drew Eubanks took on larger roles in the rotation. However, neither player significantly impacts fantasy basketball.

Los Angeles Clippers guard Ben Simmons (knee) is ready to go ahead of Wednesday's game against the Chicago Bulls. Simmons appears ready to play again following a one-game absence due to a knee injury. He has been decent during his three appearances with the Clippers. Simmons isn't going to light up the box score, but he should be able to provide low-end fantasy value. He shouldn't be limited at all after only a one game absence, so fantasy managers can get him back into their lineups on Wednesday.

Los Angeles Clippers forward Ben Simmons (knee) will sit out of Monday's game against the Detroit Pistons for injury management on his left knee. The point-forward has appeared in three games since joining the Clippers but hasn't been able to play in back-to-backs. While he's returned solid fantasy value in deeper leagues, his health continues to hold him back the most. With Kawhi Leonard (foot) and Norman Powell (knee) both ruled out, Bogdan Bogdanovic and MarJon Beauchamp should see plenty of minutes in this contest. In their last game against the Indiana Pacers, Bogdanovic posted 11 points, two assists, one rebound, and one steal.

Los Angeles Clippers forward Ben Simmons (conditioning) is not listed on the injury report for Thursday's game against the Jazz, meaning he'll be available to make his debut with his new team. He finalized a contract buyout with the Nets on Friday after averaging 24.6 minutes in his 33 games this season and producing 6.2 points, 6.9 assists, 5.2 rebounds, and 0.9 steals per game. His role with the Clippers is uncertain but with Kawhi Leonard (rest) not playing, Simmons could get significant playing time on Thursday.

Los Angeles Clippers guard Ben Simmons (conditioning) has been ruled out ahead of Wednesday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. Simmons recently joined the Clippers after finalizing a contract buyout with the Brooklyn Nets. It's unclear if the Clippers plan on having Simmons play at all before the All-Star break. Once active, Simmons figures to play a significant role in the Clippers rotation. His playmaking and defense should be enough to make him worth rostering in at least deep formats.

According to ESPN's Shams Charania, the Nets and guard/forward Ben Simmons have agreed to a contract buyout. The 28-year-old was at his best while a member of the 76ers. However, after he was traded to Brooklyn, his production declined significantly. Simmons has averaged 13.6 points, 7.6 rebounds, 7.4 assists, and 1.5 steals in 365 regular-season games throughout his career. Unfortunately, injuries and personal issues have caused him to miss plenty of time over the years. But now that he's a free agent, he'll likely draw interest from a number of teams around the National Basketball Association, even more so because of his versatility. Yet, it's hard to tell how impactful the former LSU Tiger will be from a fantasy standpoint until he inks a new deal. He'll also need to stay healthy.

Brooklyn Nets guard Ben Simmons stayed on the team through the trade deadline, but that doesn't mean he's going to finish the season with the organization. The two sides are reportedly working on a contract buyout. Simmons is in the final year of a five-year deal that he originally signed with the Philadelphia 76ers. A majority of his time in Brooklyn has been spent on the bench due to injury. When healthy, Simmons has been decent, averaging 6.2 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 6.9 assists across 25 minutes per game this season. If he gets cut loose, the Los Angeles Clippers and Cleveland Cavaliers are potential landing spots. His fantasy value could see an uptick if he's surrounded by a better supporting cast.

Brooklyn Nets guard Ben Simmons (back, injury management) is off the injury report ahead of Wednesday's matchup with the Wizards. The former 76er didn't suit up for Tuesday's win over the Houston Rockets to rest. As a result, D'Angelo Russell and Reece Beekman handled most of the duties at the one spot. While Russell should remain the equation, Simmons' return on Wednesday should mean less work for Beekman. With Washington allowing a league-worst 121.7 points per game, Simmons could be in line for an above-average night.

Brooklyn Nets guard Ben Simmons (lower back, injury management) won't play on Tuesday against the Rockets. The Nets are playing back-to-back games on Tuesday and Wednesday, so Simmons will take the night off before likely returning against Washington. Without him, D'Angelo Russell should be in line for more minutes, with Keon Johnson also getting more involved at the one.

Brooklyn Nets guard/center Ben Simmons (back) will not be in the lineup on Tuesday against the Houston Rockets. As an injury-prone player, Simmons doesn't play in back-to-backs, and the Nets are scheduled to head out again on Wednesday night against the Washington Wizards. Tyrese Martin could break back into the rotation with Simmons unavailable, with Keon Johnson and Ziaire Williams in line for extra usage. Martin has averaged 8.1 points, 3.9 rebounds, and 1.8 assists for the season.

Brooklyn Nets guard Ben Simmons (back) isn't listed on the injury report heading into Wednesday's matchup with the Hornets. The former 76er missed the last five games. But it's good news for Brooklyn, who will be without Noah Clowney (ankle), Cam Thomas (hamstring), and Cameron Johnson (ankle). With that in mind, Simmons, who has averaged only 6.3 points this season, could get more scoring chances against one of the worst teams in the National Basketball Association. Under normal circumstances, Simmons' return could mean D'Angelo Russell would head back to the bench. But with so many injuries on the roster, both players may start.

Brooklyn Nets guard Ben Simmons (back) has been ruled out of Monday's game against the Sacramento Kings. This will be the fifth straight contest that Simmons has missed due to his back issue. The 28-year-old has battled injuries most of the season, as has been the case the last few years. From a fantasy perspective, Simmons hasn't provided much value in terms of points, though he's been solid with assists as he averages 7.1 APG. In his absence expect D'Angelo Russell to take the lead in facilitating. Russell has averaged 7.7 APG in the four games Simmons has missed.

Brooklyn Nets guard Ben Simmons (back) is questionable heading into Monday's game versus Sacramento. The former Philadelphia 76er has a sore back, keeping him out of the lineup in the Nets' previous four contests. Simmons has averaged only 6.3 points this season. However, he has logged 7.1 assists and 5.3 rebounds per contest, so he continues to have some value for category managers. With that said, if Simmons stays on the shelf, Tyrese Martin should remain more involved, although he has been hit-or-miss from a production standpoint.

Brooklyn Nets guard/forward Ben Simmons (illness) will play on Saturday against Miami. The 28-year-old missed the last three games because of an illness. With D'Angelo Russell (personal) also sidelined on Wednesday versus Phoenix, Keon Johnson, finishing with 20 points, spent time at the one. However, with Russell and Simmons back in the mix, Johnson likely won't be as productive. With that said, Simmons hasn't been consistent on the scoring end, although that has been going on for years. Still, he's at least good for some assists and rebounds for category managers.

Brooklyn Nets guard Ben Simmons (illness) is considered questionable ahead of Saturday's game against the Miami Heat. Simmons has missed the last three games as this appears to be a lingering illness. His absence in the rotation has given Keon Johnson and Reece Beekman an increased look in the rotation. Between the two, Johnson is the better streaming choice after a 20-point outing during Wednesday's game. The Nets are banged up right now, so Johnson is worth looking at as a low-end streaming choice right now.

On Wednesday, the Brooklyn Nets announced that guard/centerBen Simmons (illness) won't suit up against the Phoenix Suns. Simmons will miss his third consecutive contest due to an illness. He's played in just 30 games so far this season. D'Angelo Russell(rest) andCameron Johnson(ankle) will also be sidelined leaving the Nets lineup significantly thin versus the Suns. The 28-year-old's next opportunity to play comes at home on Saturday against the Miami Heat.
