Brooklyn Nets guard Ben Simmons did not play in Saturday’s 136-133 win over the Indiana Pacers due to rest and injury management. However, him being out did not stop him from giving praise to his teammates for their upset win.
Going into Saturday’s game against the Pacers, the Nets were consider a massive underdog after announcing that eight players, including Simmons, were out for a variety of seasons with rest being the main reason. However, despite the lack of star power and depth, Brooklyn was able to win the game.
Simmons was able to watch this unfold from the bench and witness how his teammates fought to win against all odds. Simmons posted his reaction to the win on his Instagram story:
