The sentence that begins, “On 5 March, Nets head coach Jacque Vaughn revealed that Simmons had underwent an MRI…” has a grammatical error. The word “had” should be removed or “had underwent” should be changed to “had undergone.”

Undergone is the past participle of undergo while underwent is the past tense. Including “had” requires the participle so “had” should be removed or the participle should be used. 107.198.104.128 (talk) 02:54, 23 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I have fixed it. Thanks for alerting us. HiLo48 (talk) 04:40, 23 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
