Ben Simmons Undergoes Second Back Surgery

The Brooklyn Nets star is sidelined for the season, with hopes for a full recovery by next training camp.

Ben Simmons underwent a second back surgery, a microscopic partial discectomy, to alleviate a nerve impingement in his lower back.
The surgery was performed after the Brooklyn Nets announced Simmons would miss the rest of the season.
Simmons is expected to make a full recovery in time for training camp next season.
This marks Simmons' second back surgery since being traded to the Nets in 2022, limiting him to just 57 games over three seasons.
Simmons has one year and about $40 million remaining on his contract with the Nets.
