Ben Simmons (back) ruled out for Philadelphia Sunday
Philadelphia 76ers forward Ben Simmons will not play Sunday in the team's game against the Orlando Magic.
What It Means:
Simmons was listed as questionable to play due to a back ailment, and he's been ruled out as a result. The 76ers have already locked up the top seed in the Eastern Conference, and Simmons should be ready to go for the first round. Tyrese Maxey could see extended minutes in Simmons' absence.
In 58 games this season, Simmons has averaged 14.3 points, 7.2 rebounds, 6.9 assists and 36.9 FanDuel points.
