Ben Simmons to undergo MRI on lower back “amid concerns of an injury”

After Ben Simmons was listed as probable and then went on to suit up for the Philadelphia 76ers on Satuday evening against the Milwaukee Bucks, it seemed safe to assume fans had nothing to worry about when it came to some lower back tightness for the Sixers’ lead ball handler. Simmons had missed the Sixers’ first game back from the All-Star break (a win over the Brooklyn Nets on Thursday) due to discomfort in his lower back, but hey, sometimes the All-Star break carries over a day or two too long. Unfortunately though, Simmons was and is not back to 100%.
