Ben Simmons did not take part in a scheduled individual workout at the Philadelphia 76ers' practice facility Thursday and was briefly treated for back tightness, sources told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.
It is unclear whether Simmons, who was suspended by the 76ers for Wednesday's season-opening 117-97 win over the New Orleans Pelicans for conduct detrimental to the team, will play Friday against the Brooklyn Nets (7:30 p.m. ET, ESPN).
Simmons is expected to come early to the 76ers' shootaround Friday morning to discuss his playing status with organizational leadership, sources told Wojnarowski.
