Jesus christ. This is why i don't care anymore. This franchise is cursed!!!!

Does anyone know if this is a serious thing or career threatening.

A pinched nerve is a serious condition. It can cause a lot of pain. I feel bad for Ben, I hope he can recover. We are just going to have to wait to see what our medical staff determines is the best way to handle it.

Yeah, i hope my post isn't misconstrued with me being upset at Ben, I'm not. He has no control over this and i hope he isn't in a lot of pain.

Everything that could have gone wrong, has gone wrong.

How did the FO accepted a Harden trade with an incoming Ben on a bad back?

Most Nets fans need to accept possibility that Ben is D. Rose 2.0. Washed up after rookie contract who peaked already. Only thing we can do is to cross our fingers and hope for better.

Since Marks created player friendly environment there was no other option but Ben for us. We did same with KD, D.LO and allowed others to get paid elsewhere they wanted.

Only player we did dirty was PowerGuard aka Bruce Brown who's balling in Denver right now.

I'm curious too. How did Ben pass his physical?

This might be the end for his career. The Nets might have to seriously consider waiving and stretching the rest of that contract.

Marks got fleeced on the Harden deal. Simmons is officially damaged goods that can't be traded.

The trade was essentially a James Harden for Seth Curry swap.

yea idk why we didn't get more picks in that deal, we literally traded like 6 picks for Harden and all we got back was 2 measly picks. We should of at least got 3 and a couple swaps but whatevvvs

Harden was gonna to leave in off season anyways.

They got 2 unprotected first round picks (2022 or 2023 plus 2027) and Seth curry. That’s not a bad deal especially the 2027 unprotected pick.

Simmons injuries are weird at this point. He sits out a month and half with knee problems. And now as a back injury.

If a medical doctor orders enough tests on someone. Chances are they can find something wrong with your body.

It's complications after surgery he had. You don't have to be a Dr to know that if you have any clue or education.

Something went wrong. His body reacting to it.

Remember before KD trade I said Achilles tears finished many players in different sports. Well, Ben has muscular-skeleton issue. It affects his cns system to the point where he have spine of a 50yo women.

Nothing to be exited about here. Just wish him luck and fast recovery. For his own good, he should retire after his contract runs out.

Out of all people posters here I expected less reactionary post from you buddy.

Marks/Tsai building player friendly environment with biggest market attached to it. In a long run as a business man ( I have no clue here what I'm saying ) that should bring you back some investment back.

We did real good by our players whose been here not named Kyrie and Brown ( Bruce is my own opinion ). Let's see how it will work out. Something is bruing in a year after.

Let me jinx it before I get my hopes high. It's LaMelo Ball and Brandon Ingram.

I think if we can snatch worst kept secret in Hendricks. Than we won this season and Marks just lucky SOB we should keep for the rest of his life. That guy is a Isaac at worst, combo of KG/Barkley type guy.

Ben has had impingement issues on and off throughout his career. The expectation was that the surgery he had last summer was supposed to alleviate it. While nobody can say for sure, it's possible if the back wasn't right it messed up his biomechanics which caused the knee issues. With the knee not being right it could have messed with the back.

There is still positive outlook Ben can get right, Michael Porter Jr being the most recent example.

It was clear he wasn't right this season both mentally and physically...

Very serious. It’s going to take rehab, possible surgery. No way he will be doing summer workouts.

Wish we had gotten around to finding this out sooner. His back had been an issue for a long time. It seems a bit strange that we're only just now finding this out. Hopefully he can recover from this.

Told you guys my experience with the same injury so this is no surprise to me

He should have been rehabbing and not being played as a 5 before Xmas
