EDGE Analysis

Simons hit the ground running after missing the previous game due to a knee injury, tallying 25 points including five triples. Despite the loss, managers have to be thrilled that Simons missed only one game, that game being on the second night of a back-to-back. While this indicates he could miss another few games before the season is done, there has been no sign of a shutdown yet.
