Why Anfernee Simons Isn't Playing More for Celtics vs. Magic
Anfernee Simons was one of the Boston Celtics' most talked-about offseason signings. With Jayson Tatum sidelined for most or all of the season due to injury, Simons was expected to play a major role in Boston's offense.
However, during Friday night's game in Orlando against the Magic, something unusual happened. Simons hardly took the court in the first half, logging only two minutes by halftime.
“There's no official word on Simons' status as to why he isn't playing more.”
The Celtics have not reported any injury or health concern for the guard. Typically, Simons has seen his minutes fluctuate as he comes off the bench, but nothing has been as surprising as this limited appearance.
Head coach Joe Mazzulla is expected to address the situation after the game, possibly providing clarification on Simons' limited playing time.
