Ben Simmons on Dyson Daniels: ‘Defensive Player of the Year for me’

“One had happened earlier, and obviously you want to stay away from having surgeries and things like that, so we did everything we could to keep me out there and keep me going until, obviously, I had to have the surgery. That was for my best interest, so we did that the first time. It went all right, it went okay in terms of the rehab and how it’s feeling, and just had some other symptoms that were similar to the first one. I got another scan, then I had another herniation, so got that cleaned up the second time. And it was day and night in terms of how it was feeling, moving day-to-day with that second surgery.” -via Clutch Points / March 17, 2025
