Simmons will begin a rehab program for the impinged nerve in his back that has kept him out of the lineup since Feb. 15.
Vaughn said he didn’t expect Simmons to return this season on Saturday, but the team delayed the official announcement until Simmons could see a back specialist.
Simmons has averaged 6.9 points, 6.1 assists and 6.3 rebounds in 41 games this season.
