Ben Simmons has been cleared for 5-on-5 play, reported Brian Lewis of the New York Post.

Simmons, who had back surgery in March, should also be ready for training camp next month.

Lewis adds that new head coach Jordi Fernandez visited Simmons in Florida this offseason.

The Nets are unlikely to pursue a buyout of Simmons.

This guy is living his best life.
Play half a season. Get a back injury. Get paid Max dollars.

Rinse repeat, third season now.

Look playing is better than not playing not having a back injury and surgery is better than having it.. His life is fantastic he is rich but best would be uninjured and due a second contract which he wont get..

Ben Simmons is cleared for a salary dump trade. I'm looking at WAS (Poole) or CHI (LaVine). Those are two great tank commanders, although a LaVine/Claxton/Thomas pairing might accidentally push BRK into the late lottery!
