Philadelphia 76ers forward Ben Simmons (illness) did not participate in Thursday's practice.
Simmons has tended to play through his various illnesses this season, so he should be fine for Friday's matchup with the Sacramento Kings. Otherwise, Joel Embiid would be in line for a large usage boost.
Simmons is averaging 42.5 FanDuel points through 67 games this season, with 17.1 points, 9.2 rebounds, 7.9 assists, 1.4 steals, and 0.7 blocks per contest.
