    There's absolutely no question in mind he's taken roids. I don't personally care but it's pretty obvious

    Simmons is a problem both physically and mentally.

    Simmons has become a joke, he better play at least 65 games a season and proves himself to be at least reliable......

    Dang it.

    I think it's possible to BOTH

    1) not be a fan of ben Simmons personally

    And

    2) have a good faith belief that his back pain is indeed extremely severe and he's under no obligation to not get it medically treated even if he's under contract.

    People don't just "have an epidural" in their 20s for the content on the 'gram.

    As someone who had a disc issue in his early 30's, which led to the sciatic nerve getting all sorts of messed up, and who ended up getting an epidural as part of the "I don't want back surgery until it's the last resort" treatment option, I can attest that things of that nature are pretty much totally debilitating.

    Geez...I guess his career is completely over at this point. Hope his back gets better so he can live a good life outside of basketball.

    Again, say what you will about Ben Simmons, but you don't have two diskectomies in your 20's unless your back is majorly f'd up.

    I hope he recovers enough next year to squeeze another contract out of the Nets
