This season, Ben Simmons is running out of time. The Brooklyn Nets guard hasn't played since Feb. 15 due to left knee pain. Simmons is still confined to individual work in practice, according to Nets coach Jacque Vaughn, more than a month after he was injured. With only 10 games remaining in the regular season, it's uncertain whether Simmons will be able to play before the conclusion of the season - but Vaughn swears he's not thinking that far ahead. While Simmons isn't out for the rest of the season, it's not a positive indication at this point. Simmons has averaging 6.9 points, 6.3 rebounds, and 6.1 assists in 42 games this season, all career lows for him after missing all of previous season with a back issue. He ended his relationship with Klutch Sports Group earlier this month. Simmons is in year three of a five-year, $177 million contract with the franchise. Vaughn stated only last week that Simmons' injury had caused no delays and that he was "progressing." "Definitely operate on the assumption [that Simmons will play again this season]," Vaughn told USA Today last week. "There has been no suggestion about his not playing. We anticipate his return."The Nets enter Thursday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers having lost four straight and sitting sixth in the Eastern Conference standings with a 39-33 record.

Daniel Weinman won the World Series of Poker's main event world championship on Monday in Las Vegas, earning $12.1 million along the way. Playing in the tournament for a 16th year, Weinman was tops in a deep pool of 10,043 players vying for $93.39 million. His victory came after just 164 hands at the final table. "I was honestly on the fence about even coming back and playing this tournament," the 35-year-old Atlanta native told reporters afterward. Weinman's final table featured Jan-Peter Jachtmann, who landed in fourth place and took home $3 million, as well as Toby Lewis, who finished seventh and secured $1.42 million. According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the main event's entry pool far outpaced the previous record of 8,773 set in 2006. "I've always kind of felt that poker was kind of going in a dying direction, but to see the numbers at the World Series this year has been incredible," Weinman said. "And to win this main event, it doesn't feel real. I mean, [there's] so much luck in a poker tournament. I thought I played very well." Steven Jones finished second, securing $6.5 million. And Adam Walton settled for third and a $4 million prize.
