According to Keith Pompey of the Philadelphia Inquirer, Ben Simmons is probable (minor upper respiratory illness) and Al Horford is out (left knee soreness) for the Sixers’ Thursday evening game against the Atlanta Hawks.
#Sixers PG Ben Simmons has a minor upper respiratory illness and is probable tonight vs. #Hawks. Al Horford is out with left knee soreness, likely to play Saturday at Boston.

Pompey notes that Horford is “likely” to play Saturday against the Boston Celtics (which will be the final time the the Sixers and the Celtics meet this season), which should ease concerns that Horford is dealing with anything serious.
