Arguably the best player in the world was asked about Ben Simmons’ breakout performance, and summed it up with one word.

Actually the same word twice.

“Incredible,” Nets star Kevin Durant gushed, then circled back for more. “Incredible. I mean, I’m just happy for him, because he’s been trying to get his form back, trying to figure his rhythm out.”

After missing all of last season and struggling through the start of this season — losing his starting job and being relegated to the bench — Simmons followed up his first solid performance Tuesday in Sacramento with a genuine breakthrough outing two nights later in a 109-107 win in Portland.
