PHILADELPHIA — The Sixers take on the Nets on Monday night and they’ll be without several players in this Atlantic Division preseason tilt.
Ben Simmons is still not with the team in Philly, though there is actual hope that he’ll join them sometime soon.
The team will be without Tyrese Maxey on the court on Monday, as the sophomore is dealing with left adductor tightness.
Rivers says Maxey wanted to play tonight. Says it’s an injury they just have to be careful with.
