ANALYSIS: Wojnarowski also added, "Simmons has to be evaluated now and next steps will be based upon the determination of medical professionals." The star point guard has not played for the Sixers in any capacity this fall and was recently thrown out of practice and suspended by the team. It is unclear what the next steps are for Simmons from a playing and general wellbeing standpoint.
