Ben Simmons (illness) misses 76ers' practice Thursday
Philadelphia 76ers forward Ben Simmons (illness) did not participate in Thursday's practice.
What It Means:
Simmons has tended to play through his various illnesses this season, so he should be fine for Friday's matchup with the Sacramento Kings. Otherwise, Joel Embiid would be in line for a large usage boost.
Simmons is averaging 42.5 FanDuel points through 67 games this season, with 17.1 points, 9.2 rebounds, 7.9 assists, 1.4 steals, and 0.7 blocks per contest.
