Ben Simmons tries taking one to the rim. The first time he’s done that with the ball in his hands since returning.
Wasn’t pretty, but it was something. pic.twitter.com/8U36SP2CEN – 8:08 PM

The #Nets going with a smallish lineup of Ben Simmons, Spencer Dinwiddie, Cam Thomas, Mikal Bridges and Nic Claxton for the first time. #Mavericks #NBA – 7:03 PM

Spurs notebook leads with Doug McDermott’s advice for Deni Avdija — namely, invest in a mouthguard.
McDermott once had a tooth knocked out by a Ben Simmons elbow: “I am still waiting for an apology. Tooth fairy money, or something.”

Cam Johnson is doubtful for the #Nets with left adductor tightness. As expected Ben Simmons removed from the injury report. – 1:03 PM

More on this storyline
Erik Slater: Ben Simmons tonight: 9 points 9 rebounds 7 assists 4/7 FG 20 minutes A pretty solid performance on a night where the Nets’ transition game was neutralized for the most part. Nothing amazing, but I’d say encouraging. -via Twitter @erikslater_ / February 6, 2024
CJ Holmes: Nets starters against Dallas: Spencer Dinwiddie, Cam Thomas, Mikal Bridges, Ben Simmons, Nic Claxton. This will be Simmons’ first start since Nov. 6. Will be interesting to see how the Nets manage his minutes restriction given how short-handed they are in the frontcourt. -via Twitter @CjHolmes22 / February 6, 2024
Ian Begley: Ben Simmons isn’t on the BKN injury report for Nets-Dallas tonight. So he should be playing after missing last night’s loss to GSW. -via Twitter @IanBegley / February 6, 2024
