Ben Simmons still working through mental issues

People all over Brooklyn are furious with Ben Simmons after he missed Game 4 of the Nets vs. Boston. All signs were pointing to him being back, but the star guard didn't play and the team was swept.

Simmons didn't compete once this year and people couldn't believe it. Well, as it turns out, Simmons told the team he's still working through a mental block, which contributed to him not playing.

Ben Simmons reportedly told the Nets that he still suffers from a “mental block” that’s caused stress and possibly triggered the back injury that kept him off the court https://t.co/NT7DX7slpf

Simmons has been going through some things over the past year and it has prevented him from suiting up. The front office will hope things can get better for him ASAP so he can play starting with the season-opener next year.
