Sixers' Ben Simmons (back) will play on Wednesday
Philadelphia 76ers forward Ben Simmons (back) will play on Wednesday, per Keith Pompey of the Philly Inquirer.
What It Means:
Simmons' status has gone back and forth all day after the reigning Rookie of the Year missed Tuesday's game and was limited to just 8 minutes on Saturday due to back tightness. With Simmons back in the lineup, Markelle Fultz is expected to shift over to shooting guard with Landry Shamet headed to the bench. T.J. McConnell will see reduced minutes with Simmons playing.
Our models project Simmons for 41.2 FanDuel points in 33.4 minutes on Wednesday.
