BIRMINGHAM, Mich. — Ben Simmons is doubtful to play Tuesday night against Detroit Pistons at Little Caesars Arena, 76ers coach Brett Brown said.
"I'm listing him as doubtful," the coach said after Tuesday morning's shootaround at Seaholm High School in Birmingham.
Simmons did not participate in that shootaround, after leaving Saturday night's game against Orlando with back tightness with 4 minutes, 19 seconds left in the first quarter. The 2017-18 rookie of the year went to the locker room and was ruled out for the rest of the game.
Simmons had four points on 2-for-3 shooting to go with four assists in 7:41 of action against the Magic.
