76ers' Ben Simmons (elbow) out Saturday versus Magic
Philadelphia 76ers forward Ben Simmons will not play on Saturday, reports NBA.com's David Aldridge.
What It Means:
Simmons is dealing with elbow inflammation so he'll take a seat to rest. With him sidelined for the first time this season, Dario Saric will play the majority of minutes at power forward as Robert Covington could slide over to play some minutes there as Timothe Luwawu sees extra run on the wing.
According to our models, Simmons was projected for 32.6 minutes and 36.5 FanDuel points prior to being ruled out for Saturday's matchup with the Orlando Magic.
