The Nets held a players-only meeting Oct. 29 after losing at home to Indiana. Among the several topics discussed and concerns aired was Simmons.
“It was honest. We had a conversation that obviously I’m not going to talk about, but it was honest,” Simmons said at the time. “That’s what winning teams do, hold each other accountable. Be open and talk to your teammates and respect that.”that Markieff Morris spoke up, saying the Nets need Simmons to succeed and that he has to respond when he deals with adversity on the court. The report also claimed Simmons appeared to take the critique in stride, and was responsive and attentive throughout.
At the time, Morris said: “I don’t speak on players-only meetings. I don’t even know why you guys even know about that. That’s something that’s between us. That’s our thing.” On Wednesday, he flatly denied the story in The Athletic. Simmons has been playing through pain. His back had nerve damage that he estimates will take 18 months to heal. That brought on a swollen knee that has already cost him five games, has been drained and, he told The Athletic, required PRP injections.Simmons, who has seen a therapist in the past, is in the third season of a five-year, $177 million deal.
