Justin Simmons heads back to Denver this weekend, the place he called home for eight seasons. The Falcons safety, whom the Broncos cut in the offseason, said he harbors no ill will for his former club.

Atlanta Falcons safety Justin Simmons is trying to take Sunday's game at Denver in stride as he faces his former team.

Erik Slater: Nic Claxton (lower back tightness) is questionable tomorrow at the Knicks. Dorian Finney-Smith (left ankle sprain) is probably. Ben Simmons (left calf tightness) is not on the injury report. Trendon Watford, Day’Ron Sharpe, and Bojan Bogdanovic remain out. -via Twitter @erikslater_ / November 14, 2024

The Nets appear on track to get Dorian Finney-Smith and Ben Simmons back for their first meeting of the season with the Knicks

The Nets are exceeding expectations right now, but what would elevate this team even more would be Simmons' willingness to shoot more. Of course, his ability to find anyone on the floor has been a major part of Brooklyn's offensive success, but imagine what the offense would look like if Simmons was more aggressive in looking to score.
