The 25-year-old 2016 first overall pick has been ruled out for the contest. 

NBA's official injury report

He came over in a trade from the Philadelphia 76ers earlier this season that sent James Harden to Philadelphia.

Simmons has yet to play in game during the 2021-22 NBA season.  

He has been seen on the court before a game, and at practice recently putting in work, which is definitely a positive sign that he could play in the NBA Playoffs.
