Simmons misses first day of Sixers' summer-league practice

SALT LAKE CITY - The professional debuts of 76ers rookies Ben Simmons and Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot were put on hold.

Neither player participated in Saturday's two practices at the University of Utah Huntsman Center to open summer-league minicamp. The Sixers will face the Boston Celtics at 7 p.m. Monday in a Utah Jazz Summer League opener at Vivint Smart Home Arena.

The two were scheduled to fly here on Saturday to join their teammates.

"The talk is we should have them here sometime this weekend," said Sixers assistant coach Billy Lange, who is coaching the Utah summer league team.
