The 76ers are suffering from a severe dose of the injury blues for the second straight preseason.
Ben Simmons (right foot Jones fracture), Jahlil Okafor (right knee soreness), Jerryd Bayless (left wrist soreness), Nik Stauskas (left hamstring strain), Nerlens Noel (left groin strain), and Cat Barber (right wrist, hand soreness) all missed Thursday's exhibition game against Washington with injuries. It was the second consecutive game that Okafor, Bayless, Simmons and Barber missed. Sources have said Simmons is expected to be sidelined around three months.
Meanwhile, Richaun Holmes suffered a left-ankle sprain when he stepped on official Monty McCutchen's foot during the jump ball to start the second half.
