ANALYSIS: According to ESPN, it is unclear what Monday's meeting means for the Sixers' ultimate hopes of a Simmons return to play, but it was a change of direction for Simmons in his dealings with the organization. And Wojnarowski added that Simmons is planning to continue meeting with his @NBPA-provided mental health specialist and working out regularly at the team practice facility.

There is still no timetable on a possible return for Simmons.
