The Brooklyn Nets get a crack at the dysfunctional Philadelphia 76ers. Let’s dive into everything you need to know for Friday’s game.

The Brooklyn Nets are looking for their first win of the season. The season opener against the Milwaukee Bucks didn’t go so well.

The Nets are playing another Eastern Conference team with a star going AWOL — the Philadelphia 76ers. Ben Simmons is a no-show even when he makes it into practice. Brooklyn has a chance to right the ship on Friday night in Philly.

Injuries

Ben Simmons is listed as doubtful on the injury report, but there is no shot he plays in this game. He’s waiting for the Sixers to trade him. Until then, Shams Charania of The Athletic is reporting that Ben Simmons is “currently not mentally ready to play for the team.”

Sources: 76ers All-Star Ben Simmons is currently not mentally ready to play for the team and was receiving treatment on his back today due to ramp up process. He will miss Friday’s home opener vs. Nets and is not expected to play for an undetermined period of time.
