Coach Brett Brown called this "significant."
Sixers center Joel Embiid, who missed his first two NBA seasons with foot injuries, is excited for Simmons.
The Sixers have never given a concrete timetable for Simmons' return.
"I'll have my first game eventually," Simmons said on October 26th, before the Sixers' first game. "My time will come."
