Ben Simmons Could Miss Tuesday's Game
7 years agoPhiladelphia 76ers guard/forward Ben Simmons (illness) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. He did not participate in shootaround and is at the team hotel getting treatment for gastroenteritis. The Sixers have won 14 straight games, while Simmons is averaging a triple-double during that stretch. The last two games are must-win contests for the Sixers if they want to lock down the No. 3 seed. Markelle Fultz is expected to draw the start if Simmons is unable to suit up. T.J. McConnell would see increased playing time off the bench. Fultz would be an attractive fantasy option if he does draw the start on Tuesday.
