Report: Ben Simmons still being evaluated, expected to miss more time

Ben Simmons

It does not look like the back injury Philadelphia 76ers star Ben Simmons suffered Saturday night is going to be of the short-term variety.

Simmons went through another evaluation on Monday. According to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, a course of action is being determined and the expectation here is that it’s not a day-to-day injury.

That sounds rather ominous in the grand scheme of things.

The All-Star has already been ruled out for Monday’s game against the Atlanta Hawks. Though, this puts his short-term availability into question.

Following Saturday night’s blowout loss to the Milwaukee Bucks, Philadelphia finds itself at a modest 35-22 on the season and as the fifth seed back east.

Needless to say, Brett Brown and Co. can’t afford this to be a serious injury.
