Ben Simmons is deciding on playing Game 4 against the Boston Celtics. 

This is huge news for the Nets because they can use him as the point guard and a guy who can defend Jayson Tatum or Jaylen Brown. It gives Kevin Durant a breather on the defensive end. Simmons hasn’t played all year due to his situation with his former team the Philadelphia 76ers. 

Simmons first game back will be in an intense playoff game. This series is super physical and fast paced. Simmons' energy and stamina is going to play the factor.   

Brooklyn is down 2-0 against the Boston Celtics. Brooklyn is in big trouble because of the intensity Boston is playing. The Celtics don’t look intimidated by the Nets. If Brooklyn goes down 3-0 then it's putting Simmons in a pressure situation. 

Simmons throughout his four years in the league is 15.9 points, 8.1 assist, 7.7 rebounds, and 1.7 steals per game. He is a three time All-Star nominations and two time first team All-Defensive selections. 

Can Simmons' stamina rise up to the level of the intensity?
