Ben Simmons Playing On Sunday
Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Ben Simmons (knee) will play Sunday against the New York Knicks. Simmons sat out Saturday's game with a sore knee despite being listed as probable to play. This could have been more of a cautionary rest day as the Sixers are finishing up their back-to-back set and Simmons is good to go […]
