The Brooklyn Nets announced on Friday prior to their 128-86 win over the Washington Wizards that the MRI for guard Ben Simmons‘ left knee came back clean.
Simmons last played on Oct. 29 against the Indiana Pacers and has been dealing with swelling in his left knee that required draining. According to ESPN’s Nick Friedell, Brooklyn interim coach Jacque Vaughn said on Friday that Simmons has a chance to play Monday night against the Dallas Mavericks if his knee feels better.
Simmons is not with the team in Charlotte for Saturday’s game.
Nets say Ben Simmons had an MRI on his knee and the scan came back clean. He had his knee drained and is still dealing with some swelling — his availability is still TBD for Monday’s game in Dallas.
