He was getting KILLED by the talking heads last week for not suiting up.
He could help himself a great deal if he’d just get in front of a microphone and defend himself. He’s too soft to do that.

Because his representation kept saying he was ramping up to come back until they were down 0-3 then his back hurt again.

I think he's having vagina surgery and they're just saying that so he doesn't look as bad.

Back surgery at his age? Not good.

Why did he wait all year to have back surgery now?

This. He literally had over a full season to get this done.

Dog and pony show so he could sue. Surgery ruins the mental health hold out storyline and lawsuit.

Getting surgery for this is a step in the right direction.

Still doesn’t answer WTF is going on if info was out there that he was supposed to play in game 4 and if the Nets’ medical team cleared him before the trade.

Can’t keep blaming the Sixers for this if the old back problems were documented and not an issue at the time of the trade. At that point it is on Simmons and the Nets as far as his conditioning while away from the Sixers and his ramp up while joining the Nets.

He needs a reason not to play next year and still get paid. The mental health problems won't work two years in a row.

So after being out a year, where does this now put him as far as a return date?

Hope he enjoys that money.

The next CBA is going to end up having partially guaranteed contracts because of him.

Would rather get surgery than being held accountable.

He is mentally fricked.
