Jordi Fernández trusts in Ben Simmons: "He is a very very good player healthy"

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."
