Despite their victory, the Sixers did not necessarily have a smile when they returned to the locker room on Wednesday night. Ben Simmons had to leave the game due to a knee injury.
After a forced victory against Spurs and a first rant from the coach, the Sixers had to make a better impression against the Wizards on Wednesday night. Let’s say it’s moderately successful. Philly won again, 107/98, but the opponent was not the toughest in the face.
The success is still there and that is the most important for the men of Brett Brown. On the other hand, the injury of Ben Simmons came to tarnish the evening.
In the middle of the third quarter, as he prepares to pass the ball to Al Horford, Simmons appears to have injured his leg in the footage. He feels immediate discomfort and begins to lift his left leg. Unfortunately, the Australian had to run to the locker room moments later to be examined.

Adrian Wojnarowski gave the news. The insider talks about a left knee injury. This is something more disturbing. The good news ? No pain, no swelling according to Woj. Brett Brown bluntly explained that Simmons is “day-to-day”. He should therefore come back quickly.
Quite an odd little glitch for Simmons, but Sixers fans can take their breath away. However, the medical staff could rule him out a few games and offer him rest. AT Joel Embiid to do most of the work in his absence.
Ben Simmons scared the fans with that knee injury. It seems much less serious than expected.
