Simmons (wrist) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Mavericks, Dante Marchitelli of Fox Sports Florida reports.
EDGE Analysis
With Simmons sitting out his eighth straight game and the Magic providing no indication that he's making notable progress in his recovery, it's growing increasingly likely that he'll be shut down for the season. The continued absences of Simmons, Evan Fournier (knee), Terrence Ross (knee) and Jonathan Isaac (ankle) will open up extra playing time for young wings Mario Hezonja, Jamel Artis and Wesley Iwundu.

Simmons (wrist) will remain out for Tuesday's game against the Knicks, Josh Robbins of the Orlando Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
Simmons will miss a seventh straight game with a bruised right wrist, and the Magic don't appear to be in any rush to get him back on the floor. Considering Tuesday is the first night of a back-to-back, it's quite possible Simmons could remain out Wednesday, when the Magic return home to host the Mavs.

Simmons (wrist) has officially been ruled out for Friday's game against the Bulls.
EDGE Analysis
No surprise here, as Simmons was listed as doubtful heading into Friday as he continues to nurse a bruised right wrist. This will mark his fifth consecutive absence, and the Magic will also be without Terrence Ross and Evan Fournier, leaving them shorthanded again on the wing.

Simmons (wrist) is listed as doubtful for Friday's matchup with the Bulls, Josh Robbins of the Orlando Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
Simmons has missed the last four games with a wrist injury and with the Magic safely out of the playoff race, there's no reason to rush him back into action too soon. If all goes as planned, Simmons will sit out a fifth straight game, which should mean more minutes for guys like Mario Hezonja, Wesley Iwundu (illness) and Rodney Purvis. Look for official word on Simmons' availability to be provided following the team's morning shootaround.

Simmons (wrist) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Nets, John Denton of OrlandoMagic.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Simmons was a limited participated in Monday's practice, but was still considered doubtful to play Tuesday, so the fact that he will be sidelined for fourth straight game doesn't come as a surprise. Simmons does, however, look to be close to a return, with his next chance to play being Friday's matchup with the Bulls.

Simmons (wrist) is doubtful for Wednesday's contest against the Nets, per the team's game notes.
EDGE Analysis
Simmons went through some 1-on-1 drills Monday while recovering from his bruised right wrist. But, unless he makes unexpected progress prior to Wednesday's tipoff, he'll likely be sidelined for a fourth straight contest. Look for more word on his status following Wednesday's morning shootaround.

Simmons (wrist) participated in 1-on-1 drills during Monday's practice, John Denton of OrlandoMagic.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Simmons was originally expected to be out at least through this week while nursing a right wrist contusion, but he appears to be progressing positively with his partial participation in Monday's session. Simmons likely won't play in Wednesday's game against the Nets, but, depending on whether or not he's able to put together a full practice this week, there looks to be at least a chance that he'll be healthy enough to make a return against Chicago on Friday,

Simmons (wrist) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against Phoenix, John Denton of OrlandoMagic.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Simmons will miss a third consecutive contest with a bruised right wrist as the Magic look to snap a three-game skid. If there's a silver lining, it's that Orlando has the next three days off, so Simmons will seemingly have a good chance to get back on the floor Wednesday against Brooklyn.

Simmons (wrist) is considered doubtful to play Saturday against the Suns.
EDGE Analysis
Simmons has been held out of the last two games, and he's on course to miss a third straight contest Saturday while battling a sore right wrist. With Jonathan Isaac (foot) and Evan Fournier (knee) also expected to sit, the likes of Mario Hezonja and Wesley Iwundu should again be in line for increased minutes.
