The 76ers are listing Simmons as out indefinitely, and he's currently weighing treatment options after he was diagnosed Thursday with a subluxation of the left kneecap, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
The phrasing of Wojnarowski's report suggests leaving the NBA bubble in Orlando is a possibility for Simmons, who suffered the injury in Wednesday's contest against the Wizards. He's also been shifted from "day-to-day" to "out," so he shouldn't be expected to play in the immediate future. While Simmons appears set to miss most, if not all, of the 76ers' remaining seeding games, coach Brett Brown said the team expects to have a clearer timeline for the two-time All-Star within the next 24 hours, per Tim Bontemps of ESPN.com. So long as Simmons remains out, the 76ers will likely have to lean more heavily on the frontcourt pairing of Al Horford and Joel Embiid. The likes of Josh Richardson, Tobias Harris and Shake Milton could also notice bumps in usage while Simmons is sidelined.
