Ben Simmons and Rich Paul met with Sean Marks on Monday to discuss how they will continue to work together to get Simmons back on the court.

Simmons reiterated his desire to play for the Nets and the sides talked about how they will work together. Simmons has three years and $114 million left on his contract after this season.

Both groups believe Simmons had two good weeks of physical ramp-up thru Sunday.

The Nets believe Simmons has been addressing both the mental and physical areas in recent months and recognize there's more work for him to do to return to game action.

The Nets host the Boston Celtics in Game 4 on Monday trailing 3-0.
