76ERS TEAM NEWS CENTER

Ben Simmons - PG

Philadelphia 76ers

According to a report by ESPN's Jackie MacMillan, Ben Simmons (back) has not suffered any setbacks and "will be good to go as his lower back impingement has all but dissipated."

Added Apr 21 9:18 am (EST)

MacMillan relays that a team source told her: "If the season resumes, we're expecting to have him." Interestingly, Simmons also discussed his much-debated hesitation to put up 3-pointers. "Some people put so much emphasis on it," Simmons says. "It's a little too much. It made me back check and say, 'Let me focus on what I'm good at.' There are things I do on the court where nobody can stop me, when I'm putting up steals, assists, scoring in the paint." Joel Embiid also chimed in. "We've had conversations, especially when it comes to shooting," Embiid says. "Ben can help me a lot. I feel like I've helped him a lot with his game. People keep saying, 'Oh, you have to stop spending time on the 3-point line,' but I do it because Ben is such a good driver, going to basket, that I've got to help open that up for him. I would like if he would do the same for me, to start shooting [3s]. But I also know how uncomfortable he is with it."

R. Rubio - PG

MIN

Ricky Rubio didn't do much through 22 minutes as a starter on Wednesday, contributing just five points, five assists, one rebounds and three turnovers in a loss to the Warriors.

Rubio finished 2-of-7 from the field and 1-of-2 from the stripe, and he failed to bring any defensive statistics to the box score. He's having a miserable year in Minnesota, and even with D'Angelo Russell (quad) out of the lineup, he hasn't been able to do much. Rubio acknowledged how much he's been struggling after the game, saying, "my game is not here and I gotta find it." He's gotten off to slow starts before, but this is the worst start from the 30-year-old PG in recent memory, and we're not entirely confident he'll be able to turn it around as long as he's with the Wolves.

C. Paul - PG

PHX

Chris Paul hit 12-of-21 shots, three 3-pointers and 5-of-5 free throws for a season-high 32 points, five rebounds, five assists and a steal against his former team in a 102-97 loss to the Thunder on Wednesday.

CP3 looked good tonight and saw some extra opportunities with Devin Booker sitting again with a hamstring injury. Paul has quietly scored in double digits in 12 straight games and had a combined 28 assists in his previous two games. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander had his way with Paul tonight, but CP3 is still a pretty efficient point guard, returning fifth-round fantasy value on the season.

D. Ayton - C

PHX

Deandre Ayton hit just 2-of-7 shots for five points, 14 rebounds, a steal and four turnovers in Wednesday's 102-97 loss to the Thunder.

Ayton had scored between 17 and 27 points in his previous four games and has been a rebounding machine in January. But inconsistency keeps raising its ugly head and Ayton has yet to put together a stretch of more than four great games in a row this season. He was dominated by Al Horford tonight and will try to get back on track against James Wiseman and the Warriors on Thursday night.

J. Crowder - PF

PHX

Jae Crowder hit 5-of-16 shots and four 3-pointers for 17 points, seven rebounds, four assists and two steals in 33 minutes of Wednesday's loss to the Thunder.

Crowder lost his starting power forward job to Cameron Johnson (eight points, 5 boards, 2 threes) but has made two straight starts with Devin Booker shelved with a hamstring injury. Crowder is averaging 19 points, 7.0 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 1.5 steals and 5.0 3-pointers in those two games, but should crawl back under a rock once Booker is ready to roll again. But if Booker misses more games, Crowder makes for an interesting flier until he's back.

I. Roby - PF

OKC

Isaiah Roby returned to the bench on Wednesday with the return of Al Horford and played just 10 minutes, finishing with four points and a rebound.

Roby was cruising with Horford at home on baby detail but fell back to earth tonight. There's a chance Horford is traded and if it happens, Roby will be worth a look. But as long as Horford is starting and playing for the Thunder, Roby's a serious drop candidate.

L. Walker - SG

SAS

Lonnie Walker hit 6-of-9 shots for 14 points, one rebound, one assist, two 3-pointers and two turnovers across 31 minutes in Wednesday's win over the Celtics.

This was a solid game for Walker, and he's been in a nice rhythm over the past two, but with Derrick White (toe) set to potentially return this weekend, Walker is going to lose most of his value. Patty Mills finished with 12 points, one rebound, two assists, two steals and three turnovers in 27 minutes off the bench, and it'll be interesting to see how White's imminent return affects him. We suspect that Walker will take the most significant hit, though.

OKC

Theo Maledon made another start on Wednesday and hit 4-of-7 shots and three 3-pointers for 11 points, six rebounds, two assists and a steal in 30 minutes of a 102-97 win over the Suns.

George Hill was out again with a thumb injury and Maledon is making the most of the opportunity. Chances are Hill reclaims his starting gig when healthy, but Maledon is at least worth putting your radar going forward.

D. DeRozan - SF

SAS

DeMar DeRozan was nearly perfect in Wednesday's win over the Celtics, going 7-of-8 from the field, 2-of-2 from distance and 5-of-6 from the stripe for 21 points over 34 minutes.

This was a nice bounce-back performance for DeRozan after he was held to just nine points on 3-of-7 shooting his last time out, and he added five rebounds, seven assists and three turnovers while he was out there. Dejounte Murray had a double-double in the win, finishing with 11 points (5-of-11 FG, 1-of-2 FT), 11 rebounds, four assists, one steal and three turnovers in 36 minutes.
