Simmons, 20, was the 76ers' first overall pick in the 2016 draft. He has not yet played in an NBA game after fracturing the fifth metatarsal bone of his right foot right before the start of the season.
The Sixers play at the Celtics on Friday and then at the Nets on Sunday afternoon. Joel Embiid is questionable for Friday's game with gastroenteritis.
