The Nets are facing their toughest test of the year just as they’re getting to be their healthiest this season.
The Nets tip off a road trip Friday at reigning champion Boston, and both Ben Simmons and Nic Claxton practiced on Wednesday afternoon.
How coach Jordi Fernandez opts to deploy them bears watching.
With Claxton having missed the entire preseason and spent most of this season ramping his way back up to a full workload, he made his first start Monday against Memphis.
Simmons has been starting at center in lieu of Claxton but isn’t playing both ends of back-to-backs, so he was rested Monday and Oct. 29 against Denver.
