Simmons acknowledged his mistakes on the court, stating, "Turning the ball over for me, I look at it as a negative and a positive. Obviously you don't want to turn the ball over but you learn from your mistakes and hopefully I continue to do that the more games I get, the more reps I get with these guys." This perspective indicates his growth mindset as he navigates the transition back to full health and performance.
Addressing his fouls, Simmons indicated that they stem from evolving roles within coach Jordi Fernandez's system. He described, "This is the NBA, guys are [going to] score, but just trying to make it difficult for them to get their shots off and adjusting to my new responsibilities on defense as well." This shows his awareness of the challenges that come with the adjustments in play.
