Doc Rivers says he will “wait and see” how Simmons looks over the next couple of days before making a decision on Wednesday. Says he wants to see his conditioning, timing, and sharpness with picking up the tweaks to what Philly has done. “We’ve been together for three weeks.”
Simmons, who has reportedly requested a trade and held out for the first few weeks of training camp, rejoined the team Monday, cleared COVID-19 protocols Friday and practiced Sunday.
The three-time All-Star averaged 14.3 points, 7.2 rebounds and 6.9 assists per game last year.
