Simmons has missed the past six games with a nerve impingement in his back. The team said he is improving with treatment and has started light individual work on the court. His status will be updated in 7-10 days.
Thomas has missed five games with a left ankle sprain. He has been cleared for increased on-court activity and is expected to rejoin team activities next week.
