Ben Simmons has resumed light on-court workouts, according to Shams Charania of The Athletic. The hope remains that he will be able to ramp up for a potential return in time for the playoffs.

ANALYSIS: Ben Simmons' return could very well be the difference between the Nets missing the playoffs and the Nets winning the title. Sadly, his impact on the court remains a hypothetical until he returns. This is a huge wild card for Brooklyn, and all eyes are on Simmons to see when he'll be back and what kind of impact he'll have once he suits up.
