Nets forward Ben Simmons will miss more time due to a knee issue that has kept him out of the last two games.
Interim head coach Jacque Vaughn announced Simmons will not travel with the team and will miss at least the next two games against Washington and Charlotte.
Vaughn said Simmons has “soreness and swelling” in his knee, but he wouldn’t confirm that the onetime LSU standout would miss the final game of the three-game trip.

The playmaking forward has played in six of the team’s eight games but has struggled to gain confidence.
