Ben Simmons is ready to return for the Nets and just needs to pass the ball and play defense

I think I nailed this one. Cause Ben Simmons is coming back per Shams. They've just kept him on ice... Ben Simmons is ready to come back and yeah, he doesn't really have to do anything. All he has to do is be out on the court on defense and then just pass the ball on offense. That's it.
