Ben Simmons does the unthinkable in nail biter versus Hornets

Originally posted on Nets Insider  |  Last updated Nov 20, 2024 12:58 PM ET


You'd have to go back to February 10, 2024, to find the last time Ben Simmons reached double figures in scoring. 
That rare feat was achieved during Tuesday night's NBA Cup  116-115 win over Charlotte. Simmons tallied 10 points and 8 rebounds. 




The moment that perhaps sparked Ben Simmons scoring outburst was a dust-up with Brandon Miller.

This lit a competitive fire in Simmons that has been absent all season.
It's unlikely that Simmons' scoring prowess continues against his old club in Philadelphia Friday night, but at least he showed a small sign of life and vigor for one of the few times this season with the Brooklyn Nets.
