The Brooklyn Nets have announced that Ben Simmons is officially out for Game Four against the Boston Celtics. Mr. Simmons, who has been working hard for the past few weeks to get playoff ready, re-aggravated his back and will not be able to help out on the court.

This is a huge blow to the Nets, who must win Game Four to continue in the NBA Playoffs. Head Coach Steve Nash and the rest of Ben Simmons’ pals on the Nets were really hoping the tallest point guard in NBA history would be able to make a splash in Game Four.

Keep at it, Ben Simmons! You can still help by cheering on your team from the bench!
