The Sixers will be in Detroit on Tuesday night for a match-up against the Pistons, but it sounds like they could be without the service of Ben Simmons, who's been dealing with a bit of back soreness.

According to a report from Serena Winters of NBC Sports Philadelphia, Simmons, who did not participate in Monday's practice session, is now listed as questionable for Tuesday's game.

Simmons exited Saturday's game against the Orlando Magic in the first quarter due to tightness in his back. He played just eight minutes.

Following Saturday's game, Sixers head coach Brett Brown noted that Simmons' injury doesn't seem to be serious. If Simmons is unable to play on Tuesday, Markelle Fultz, J.J. Redick, and T.J. McConnell will likely see an uptick in minutes.

Brown said Simmons' back started stiffening up on him before the game, but he decided to give it a go. The decision to pull Simmons was made by trainers. Brown said he didn't think the injury was serious and the decision was likely more precautionary than anything else.
