The Philadelphia 76ers try to do without All-Star guard Ben Simmons for at least one game

 

WASHINGTON, USA – The NBA’s Philadelphia 76ers will be without Ben Simmons for at least one game and maybe more after the Australian guard sprained his right shoulder in a loss to the Utah Jazz.

Simmons departed before halftime of Wednesday’s defeat. He had received a pass in the post and spun right when his right shoulder hit the chest of Utah’s Royce O’Neale.

Simmons immediately grabbed his shoulder and after briefly re-entering the game departed with 5:20 left in the 2nd quarter.

The Philadelphia Inquirer cited a league source in reporting that tests revealed a grade one sprain in Simmons’ shoulder.

The All-Star guard will miss Friday’s game against the Nuggets in Denver, and Yahoo Sports reported he will likely miss a Sunday match against the Charlotte Hornets and Tuesday’s home game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. – Rappler.com
