During the Sixers' first game against the New Orleans Pelicans, Embiid banged knees with Jonas and has been dealing with soreness ever since.
Joel Embiid's improvement as a passer and a playmaker has been enormous for his overall development as a player.
Joel Embiid has maintained that he thinks the Philadelphia Sixers are a better team with Ben Simmons on the floor.
Sixers coach Doc Rivers threw Simmons out of practice on Tuesday for being disengaged, and the suspension was handed out shortly thereafter.
Sixers All-Star center Joel Embiid reacted positively to Simmons' return and spoke optimistically about where the two sides go from here.
Simmons reportedly told teammates not to visit him in Los Angeles earlier in the offseason to try to convince him to rejoin the team.
Simmons will be fined 227,613 dollars for each game that he misses, starting with Philadelphia's preseason opener on October 4.
Simmons, who is under contract with the Sixers for the next four seasons, is owed more than 33 million dollars for the upcoming campaign.
Simmons has requested a trade away from Philadelphia and he plans to stay away from the Sixers until his wish is granted.
Simmons made it clear earlier this summer that he wanted to be traded, and would be willing to sit out to make that happen.
