Simmons conveyed optimism about his progress, stating that his back "is good" and he's "getting there."

The Aussie affirmed that he's "progressing every day," aligning with the updates provided by the Nets in their bi-weekly reports on his recovery.

Perhaps the most encouraging statement for Nets fans was Simmons expressing confidence in returning soon: "It's good. I'm getting there. Just progressing every day, so I'll be back soon."

However, he did not specify a definitive timetable for his return when asked.

It's been three weeks since the Nets mentioned they would provide an update on Simmons' status in two weeks.
