The Brooklyn Nets ruled out Ben Simmons minutes prior to Saturday's 123-94 loss to the Philadelphia 76ers due to left calf soreness.

The Brooklyn Nets and Ben Simmons are not interested in a buyout agreement, but are still open to trade talks, per Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints.

The Nets seemed to feed on his fire, and had four assists in a 19-6 run to close the half. Simmons started it with a no-look pass to a cutting Day’Ron Sharpe and ended it with a kick-out to Clowney for a 3-pointer.
