Simmons was seen walking around Paris wearing a LOEWE oversized coat priced at $4,500 in Harrods. The coat had a black and white pattern that stylishly gives comfort to anyone wearing it.

Simmons is currently recovering from a nerve impingement in his lower left back that has sidelined him since early in the season.

Ben Simmons gives update on his return

The last time Ben Simmons was on the court was on Nov. 6, 2023. He played 33 minutes that game and only had two points. The Nets star grabbed 15 rebounds and dished out four assists, but the Nets still lost to the Milwaukee Bucks.

It's been more than two months since he was on the court and everyone is curious to know when he'll make a return. Simmons spoke to the media and gave a brief update on his health.

"It’s good. I’m getting there. Just progressing every day, so I’ll be back soon," Simmons said (h/t New York Post).

The 2017-18 Rookie of the Year didn't give a definite answer on his return date, which is unfortunate. The good news is that he's now able to practice with the team. The footage of Simmons working out with his teammates on the court was posted on social media during their practice session in Paris.

He's only played six games this season, averaging 6.5 points, 10.8 rebounds and 6.7 assists.
