The Nets announced prior to Friday's tipoff that forward Cam Johnson and guard Ben Simmons were ruled out despite both playing and finishing Thursday's win. Granted, Simmons will be missing Friday's contest due to his lower back injury management program while Johnson is missing the game due to a right hip contusion that he most likely suffered from hitting the ground following his dunk on Bucks center Brook Lopez.

The Brooklyn Nets will host the San Antonio Spurs on Friday night. Ben Simmons was ruled out for the matchup on the second night of a back-to-back, while Dorian Finney-Smith is listed as questionable due to a left calf contusion.

Ben Simmons finished with eight points, four rebounds, nine assists and one steal while shooting 4/9 from the field in 28 minutes of playing time. Many fans reacted to his performance on social media.

Brooklyn Nets guard Ben Simmons might play in Friday's home game against the San Antonio Spurs, per head coach Jordi Fernandez after Thursday's win.
