Ben Simmons’ injury-riddled first season on the floor for the Nets has come to a disappointing end.

Now what’s the prognosis for the second?

On Tuesday, the Nets officially ruled out Simmons for the rest of the 2022-23 season due to a nerve impingement in his back.

Simmons averaged just 6.9 points, 6.3 rebounds and 6.1 assists — all career lows — while missing at least 40 games (bringing his total to 70 of 112 regular-season games missed with the Nets), much to the frustration of fans. He is owed $78.2 million over the next two seasons.
