Simmons was injured Friday during the final training camp scrimmage at Stockton University in New Jersey.
The Sixers said Simmons rolled an ankle, and X-rays and an MRI revealed a fractured fifth metatarsal bone.
In almost all cases, the fracture of the foot's fifth metatarsal is known as a Jones fracture, according to ESPN medical analyst Dr. Mark Adickes. Athletes with this injury typically undergo surgery.
