Two weeks would take us to March 10th, right before the Pistons home game, so Simmons won’t be involved in the four-game road swing. Sixers should be okay this week against Cleveland and New York, if Joel Embiid plays the way he did last night. They can beat the Cavs and Knicks without Simmons, then it gets tricky playing the Lakers and Clippers on the road before heading up to Sacramento and Golden State.
