Ben Simmons Injury: Expects to play Wednesday

Simmons (back) stated that he expects to play in Wednesday's game against the Pacers, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports. Simmons is officially listed as questionable.

Simmons was held out of Monday's game against the Bulls due to back injury maintenance, but his absence shouldn't last much longer. The team figures to have another update on the LSU product's status closer to tipoff, though all signs point to him playing Wednesday.
