Simons won't play in Monday's preseason game against the Knicks due to undisclosed muscle tightness, Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com reports.
Analysis:Simons will join Joel Embiid, LeBron James and Tyrese Maxey on the sidelines for the preseason opener. Head coach Nick Nurse said Simons has been "in and out" over the last few days, so it wouldn't be surprising if the team continues to exercise caution before the regular season.
