Philadelphia 76ers’ Joel Embiid and Ben Simmons are required to quarantine until March 12 and March 13, respectively, due to contact tracing, according to Shams Charania.
This rules Embiid out of the team’s game against the Chicago Bulls on March 11 and Simmons out of the games against the Bulls and Washington Wizards on March 12.
As long as each player continues to test negative, Embiid will be available to play the Wizards and Simmons will be able to return to play the San Antonio Spurs on March 14.
Embiid and Simmons received seven-day quarantines due to exposure to a barber who tested positive for COVID-19.
Both players also missed the All-Star Game as a result of contact tracing.
