Ben Simmons, who recently joined the Nets, has been in and out of the lineup due to back and hip soreness. Nic Claxton, recovering from a sprained ankle, has missed several games. The Nets have been managing their players' injuries, with Simmons being rested on back-to-back games and Claxton's return uncertain. Cam Johnson, also dealing with an injury, has been listed as probable for an upcoming game. The team's coach, Jacque Vaughn, has provided updates on the players' recovery but has not given a specific timetable for their return.
Cam Johnson is listed as probable on the #Nets injury report. Very good sign that he could return tomorrow vs the Celtics. Ben Simmons is once again questionable with hip soreness. Nic Claxton remains OUT.
More from Vaughn: He watched Cam Johnson and Nic Claxton practice today and both scrimmaged for a bit. Still no timetable on when both will be back but with Johnson being doubtful, good sign where he's closer to being back than Claxton. #Nets

Ben Simmons, as expected, is back for the #Nets tomorrow per the team. Only change is Lonnie Walker IV is probable with knee soreness. Nic Claxton remains OUT for a 6th straight game as is Cam Johnson.
Nets say Ben Simmons is OUT tonight (Night 2 of a back to back) for back maintenance. First game he’s missed all season. As expected, no Nic Claxton tonight either vs the Celtics.
