Ben Simmons (back) is set for his Nets debut in Monday's preseason opener against the Philadelphia 76ers, according to the team's Sunday injury report. Seth Curry (ankle) and TJ Warren (foot) are listed as out.

Simmons, who did not play during the Nets' 2021-22 season after the Feb. 10 trade from Philadelphia, will team up with Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving in a game for the first time.

Brooklyn hosts Philly at 7:30 p.m. from Barclays Center, followed by Thursday's game against the Miami Heat, which is scheduled for the same tip-off time.

The Nets are then at the Milwaukee Bucks next Wednesday and the Minnesota Timberwolves two days later before the regular season begins Oct. 19 against the New Orleans Pelicans.
