Simmons, Embiid in summer league? Too soon to tell

76ers rookie Ben Simmons will miss the entire season. Joel Embiid has played only 31 games. Do the 76ers expect them to play summer-league basketball in July?

"I think it's too early to make that judgment," Sixers coach Brett Brown said. "I hear the question, but I think that's certainly stuff that we're talking about.

"But in relation to giving a definite answer, we're not even close to being there yet."

Simmons suffered a Jones fracture in his right foot on Sept. 30. He had a bone marrow injection on Feb. 27 because the foot was not fully healed after surgery.
