Simmons on Monday morning played one day after missing practice because of gastroenteritis. The point guard came up short of shooting perfectly from the field or being the game's leading scorer, as Redick had done in his return Friday morning.
Joel Embiid led all players with 29 points Monday morning as the Sixers lost, 115-112, to the Dallas Mavericks in an NBA China preseason game at the Shenzhen Universaide Centre. Simmons fell one rebound shy of producing a double-double in the Sixers' fourth and final preseason game.
The point guard had 10 points, nine rebounds, six assists and a team-high two blocks in 31 minutes, 4 seconds.
