Nets coach Jordi Hernandez mum about Ben Simmons’ load management

SALT LAKE CITY — The Nets were without Cam Johnson, D’Angelo Russell and Cam Thomas for Sunday’s game at Utah.

And Ben Simmons is all but certain to miss one of the next two as well.

Jordi Fernandez confirmed Simmons still hasn’t been cleared to play both ends of back-to-backs yet. With Brooklyn playing at the Trail Blazers on Tuesday and at the Clippers on Wednesday, the Nets coach was coy about whether they’d already determined if Simmons would sit in Portland or in Los Angeles.

“It’s my secret,” Fernandez said cheekily before the Nets lost to the Jazz in crushing fashion, 112-111 in overtime on Sunday. “We probably have. We probably haven’t.”

It’s uncertain if the Nets would play Simmons on Tuesday to give Russell an extra day to recover in hopes Russell could suit up against the Clippers.
