Brooklyn has no set timetable for Simmons' return. 

Simmons, 25, was traded in a blockbuster deal that sent him, Andre Drummond, Seth Curry and two future first-round picks to the Nets with James Harden and Paul Millsap heading to the Philadelphia 76ers. 

The three-time NBA All-Star has yet to play this season after sitting out out training camp and preseason, citing mental health.
