The Philadelphia 76ers take on the Washington Wizards this evening in what is the Sixers’ final preseason game. Ben Simmons will not play in the exhibition and Raul Neto has been listed as questionable, according Keith Pompey of the Philadelphia Inquirer:
#Sixers’ PG Ben Simmons’ status for tonight’s game has been downgraded to out with lower-back tightness. It’s just a precautionary measure by the #Sixers. He wound be available to play if this was a regular-season game.

#Sixers reserve PG Raul Neto(left hamstring) is questionable for tonight’s game vs. the #Washington Wizards. James Ennis III (right calf) is available to play.

It’s good to know Simmons would play if it was a regular season game, so no concern here.
