Ben Simmons will be re-evaluated in two weeks after being diagnosed with a nerve impingement in his lower back. (Adrian Wojnarowski on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact:
Simmons will miss at least the next six games and there is further belief that his injured back will keep him out longer than the two-week timetable he was given. ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski reported that, "although doctors are hopeful that treatment can drive improvement, the 76er's are preparing to play without him." This is a huge blow to Philly as they are attempting to climb the standings in the Eastern Conference. Shake Milton will likely continue to start at point guard in Simmons' absence.
