The 76ers are evaluating treatment options for the number one overall draft pick, but a timetable for his expected return is yet to be announced.
Simmons gave Philadelphia fans a reason to be optimistic for the first time in two decades - he is the first top pick by the 76ers since the franchise selected Hall of Fame guard Allen Iverson in 1996.
The 20-year-old Australian and former LSU forward averaged 19.2 points, 11.8 rebounds, 4.8 assists and two steals per game in his lone season in Baton Rouge.
