Ben Simmons

PG, Philadelphia Sixers

Ben Simmons will leave the bubble to undergo surgery on his left knee, per Shams Charania.

Simmons left Wednesday's game after suffering a subluxation of his left kneecap, and the surgery will remove a loose body in his left knee. This is likely a season-ender for Simmons — barring a very deep run into the postseason for the Sixers — who can be cut loose in all resumption formats. Look for Shake Milton, Josh Richardson, Furkan Korkmaz and Alec Burks to head up the guard rotation with Simmons out, while Al Horford should move back into the starting lineup.
