Report: Sixers' Ben Simmons Has Nerve Impingement In Back, To Be Re-evaluated In 2 Weeks
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- Ben Simmons is always ready to ball. After missing his entire rookie season due to a foot injury, Simmons has only missed eight regular-season games. So you know it's a big deal when he misses action and that's exactly what's about to happen.
Simmons reportedly has a nerve impingement in his lower back and will be re-evaluated in approximately two weeks, according to Shams Charania.
Simmons consulted with several specialists in and outside of the Sixers organization.
The injury occurred Saturday night in Milwaukee.
Over the next two weeks, the team appears to have a favorable schedule. However, five of the six games are on the road. That includes matchups against the Clippers and Lakers.
The Sixers are one of the worst road teams in the NBA, with a 9-20 record away from the Wells Fargo Center.
