The Philadelphia 76ers get back to work on Thursday night as they return from the All-Star break to host the Brooklyn Nets.
There are multiple questions the Sixers face heading into the matchup such as who will replace Al Horford in the starting lineup now that he’s in a bench role? They now face another question as one of their All-Stars is questionable for the game.
Ben Simmons is now listed as questionable for Thursday’s matchup with lower back tightness and his status will be determined after pregame workouts. Simmons has only missed two games all season so it would be surprising to see him miss this one.

The Sixers enter the final 27 games of the season looking to figure things out and move up in the standings. Philadelphia sits at the 5 seed in the East at the moment which means they would open the playoffs on the road. That is not something that the team wants considering they’re 9-19 on the road.
Tipoff from the Wells Fargo Center on Thursday is set for 8:00 p.m. EST. [lawrence-related id=26131,26119,26110]
