The Brooklyn Nets point guard Ben Simmons is set to stay on the sidelines, as confirmed by the interim head coach Kevin Ollie.

The 27-year-old has been out of action since February 27 after suffering a leg injury. It is reported that the injury is not a new one and that it is a relapse of the previous injury.

Ollie was recently quoted in a report where he stated that he has no updates about when the player will return to action but remains optimistic that Simmons will be available for selection soon.

“No. We were just trying to get to the source of it and that’s why the change of the wording was,” said Ollie. “But he’s still day-to-day, he’s still on the court, and hopefully we can get him back soon and get him ready for this playoff push that we have in March and April.”

Simmons is not having a great time on the court for the Nets this season where he has played just 15 games. In that, he has contributed 6.1 points, 7.9 rebounds and 5.7 assists per game.

His most impressive outing this season came in the match against the San Antonio Spurs where he ended up registering 13 points to go with three rebounds and five assists.
