Ben Simmons out indefinitely for 76ers with dislocated knee cap
Philadelphia 76ers forward Ben Simmons is out indefinitely with a partially dislocated left knee cap.
What It Means:
Simmons suffered the injury on Wednesday. He will take the next few ways to evaluate his medical options, but he's hoping to avoid season-ending knee surgery. Shake Milton should see a lot more work on offense and Al Horford will likely return to the starting lineup. Joel Embiid also figures to see an uptick in usage.
Per RotoGrinders, Embiid's usage rate has increased 4.5 percent this season without Simmons on the floor.
