Ben Simmons is back.

The Nets have announced that Ben Simmons underwent “successful” surgery on his back Thursday morning in Los Angeles. The team also announced that Simmons is expected to to “make a full recovery prior to the start of next season’s training camp.”

Brooklyn Nets guard/forward Ben Simmons underwent successful microdiscectomy surgery today at Cedars-Sinai Marina Del Rey Hospital in Los Angeles. The procedure was performed by Dr. Robert Watkins IV. Following an initial recovery period of approximately three weeks, Simmons will begin a rehabilitation program. He is expected to make a full recovery prior to the start of next season’s training camp.

Ben also took to Instagram to give an update.

Ben’s fiancé Maya Jama also gave a look in at Ben, and he’s all smiles.

“Still cute tho”

Training camp normally begins at the end of September. That’s nearly five months away.

Hopefully he’ll finally be ready to resume basketball activities.

Haven’t seen Ben that happy in a long time. Check  out more of his better half below:
