It’s been something I’ve been dealing with the last year-and-a-half,” Simmons said. “So yeah, just got to monitor it, stay on it.”

The Brooklyn Nets’ shorthanded offense was dealt another blow on Sunday. With Cam Thomas sidelined by a hamstring strain, Cam Johnson rolled his left ankle during the final minute of a 100-93 loss to the Orlando Magic.

Brooklyn Nets forward Cam Johnson has grown out his facial hair since being part of the Kevin Durant blockbuster deal, but he’s still knocking down the 3 like he did with the Phoenix Suns. Johnson is shooting 23-of-39 from distance in his past five games heading into a return matchup against his former team Wednesday night at Footprint Center.
