So they did get some work in,\u201d coach Jacque Vaughn said. \u201cThey\u2019re both on track to play this weekend.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Brooklyn has essentially been playing with an eight-man rotation lately \u2014 with Seth Curry, Cam Thomas and the newly returned T.J. Warren coming off the bench. Simmons presumably will step back into the starting lineup, and Watanabe \u2014 who was leading the NBA in 3-point percentage when he went down \u2014 will also steal some minutes, possibly from Royce O\u2019Neale or Markieff Morris.<\/p>\n<p>Either way, the rotation getting lengthened is a fait accompli.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"764\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/12\/Ben-Simmons.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"Ben Simmons\" class=\"wp-image-24938351\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/12\/Ben-Simmons.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=2048 2048w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/12\/Ben-Simmons.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1536 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/12\/Ben-Simmons.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/12\/Ben-Simmons.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Ben Simmons<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">NBAE via Getty Images<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cIt definitely fit in that order. The fact that we\u2019ll have more bodies to put in the game, more flexibility in what those bodies look like, small and big,\u201d Vaughn said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe haven\u2019t seen Yuta, TJ, Kevin and Nic on the floor at the same time. So what does that look like? Does that decrease some of his minutes? So the thought of more bodies back give us more opportunities to give him relief.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>Guard Edmond Sumner returned from a right glute contusion. He scored nine in 13 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEd is in.

The group toured the arena, went on a shopping spree at Brooklyn Fanatics and watched the game from VIP suites.\n                        <\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
