La torre de lanzamiento sobresale del prístino Parque Estatal de Boca Chica como un campanario futurista que puede verse desde más de 8 kilómetros en un día despejado.El controvertido lanzamiento y posterior explosión del cohete Starship de SpaceX, el más potente construido hasta la fecha, esparció restos del tamaño de pequeñas rocas por todo el deli...

Nets GM: Ben Simmons isn’t yet playing 5-on-5, not going to rush his return

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 16:04:30 GMT

LAS VEGAS — The seemingly endless wait for Ben Simmons to play competitive basketball remains open-ended.Nearly five months since his last game with the Nets, Simmons’s training still doesn’t include 5-on-5 or 3-on-3 workouts, GM Sean Marks revealed Sunday.It was a notable development since the Australian national team coach said recently that Simmons was gearing up to play in August at the FIBA World Cup. But Simmons subsequently pulled out of World Cup consideration, which Marks said was a collaborative decision involving the Nets.The GM said he visited Simmons in Miami and offered a rosy report of “he’s in great physical shape and also mentally.” But there remains no time table for his return from the back injury, only hope that Simmons will be available for Nets training camp at the end of September.“We’ve got time,” Marks said. “This is not something where we’re going to rush him back in to play 5-on-5 in the nex...
