Anfernee Simons News, Rumors, Updates - Philadelphia 76ers

Scoreless in limited run Simons accumulated zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and one rebound across 10 minutes during Wednesday's 112-106 victory over Detroit.

Impact Simons barely factored into Philadelphia's offense, attempting just one shot while committing four fouls in his brief appearance. His playing time dropped considerably from the 24 minutes he logged Monday against Chicago, when he scored six points on 2-of-11 shooting. With Tyrese Maxey and VJ Edgecombe commanding significant backcourt minutes, Simons' inconsistent role and recent shooting struggles make him difficult to trust in fantasy lineups.

Productive on both ends Saturday Simons finished with 19 points (6-12 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two assists and three steals across 25 minutes in Saturday's 109-104 victory over Charlotte.

Impact LeBron James (rest) and Joel Embiid (foot) did not suit up for this contest, so there were extra scoring opportunities up for grabs. While Simons couldn't hit the 20-point mark for the third consecutive game, he still shined on both ends of the floor. The 27-year-old is now averaging 12.0 points, 2.0 rebounds and 1.3 assists while shooting a career-best 43.8 percent from deep over 24.7 minutes per contest in seven regular-season games in 2026-27. With the 76ers loaded with All-Stars, Simons likely won't be as productive as he was during his time in Portland, though he should continue to get plenty of playing time off the bench.

Another 20-point game Simons accumulated 21 points (7-11 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and one assist over 31 minutes during Friday's 98-93 victory over New York.

Impact Simons scored 20-plus points while connecting on five or more three-pointers for a second consecutive game, and he was the 76ers' second-leading scorer Friday behind Tyrese Maxey (21 points). Simons played a season-high 31 minutes due to the absence of Jaylen Brown (knee), and the former will have opportunities this season to operate in an expanded role in games where one of Maxey, Brown or LeBron James were to sit.

Goes for season-high 20 points Simons notched 20 points (7-11 FG, 6-10 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist and one steal over 27 minutes during Wednesday's 114-109 victory over the Pacers.

Impact Simons produced his best game of the season, scoring 20 points, including six triples. It appears as though Nick Nurse is comfortable running a shallow rotation, meaning Simons should at least be playing meaningful minutes on most nights. While this was certainly a strong performance, he had scored a total of just 11 points in his previous three games.

Productive off bench Simons closed with 13 points (5-10 FG, 3-8 3Pt) and two rebounds in 25 minutes during Tuesday's 106-100 victory over the Knicks.

Impact Simons made his regular-season debut for Philadelphia after dealing with hamstring tightness during the preseason. The veteran guard provided an immediate scoring boost, finishing as the 76ers' fourth-leading scorer while committing no turnovers. His eight three-point attempts highlights his role as a perimeter scoring option, though the absence of assists or defensive statistics limits his fantasy appeal beyond points and triples.
