Jordi Fernández, the brand new coach of the Brooklyn Nets, has spoken about one of the players who could be key to his project for the 2024/25 season, a Ben Simmons who has been suffering from back issues for several years and has been heavily criticized on social media for a long time.
The Catalan coach has come to his defense and wanted to make it very clear that if Simmons is healthy, he can bring a lot to the team:
"A healthy Ben Simmons is a very, very good player, that's what I focus on. I don't have social media. I know that ultimately social media brings out the worst in people, because if you want to be heard, you have to say something negative. And a negative always outweighs ten positives. [But] I am happy with where Ben is, with how he is performing each day."
