Simons underwent successful right thumb surgery Tuesday to repair a torn ulnar collateral ligament and is expected to return to play in approximately six weeks.

EDGE Analysis

Simons suffered his injury against the Clippers on Oct. 25. The 24-year-old guard will likely be out until early-to-mid December. Shaedon Sharpe and Malcolm Brogdon are expected to receive increased playing time in Simons' absence.
