5 years agoPhiladelphia 76ers guard/forward Ben Simmons was just two assists shy of a triple-double on Wednesday in the 12-point loss to Toronto. Simmons scored 17 points on an efficient 5-for-7 shooting while hitting seven of nine at the line and added 10 rebounds with eight assists and two steals. It was not all good for Simmons as he did record eight turnovers and was also a team-worst minus-14 in 38 minutes of action. Simmons has seen his usage creep up with Joel Embiid (hand) out and now with Josh Richardson (hamstring) to potentially miss time, we could be seeing a lot of Simmons for the near future.--Gianni Costantiello
