Ben Simmons had a message for reporters during a Brooklyn Nets workout on Saturday.

Simmons did some basketball activity during his team’s practice. At one point, he told the reporters who were present to make sure they were recording a video. He then dunked the ball.

If Simmons was trying to send a message about his status, it hardly was a significant one.

Simmons has been out with a back injury and is trying to show that he is ready to play. That dunk looked extraordinarily routine though, displaying little proof one way or another about his status.

Simmons has not played at all this season. But reports have said he could make his Nets debut later in their first-round playoff series with the Boston Celtics.
