Bucks' forward Bobby Simmons, who missed the team's final three games on its West Coast trip, rejoined the team Wednesday.

Simmons took part in the team's noon-time shootaround at the Bradley Center and was expected to play in the Bucks' game Wednesday against the Southeast Division-leading Orlando Magic. The Chicago native left the team on its recent trip due to personal reasons and missed games at Seattle, Portland and Sacramento.

"It's a boost for us, his ability to shoot the basketball, and he's got a nice feel for the game," Bucks' Coach Larry Krystkowiak said. "He provides us with another weapon on the floor, and I think we've missed him for three games."

"We've got some guys dealing with the flu, so additional bodies coming into the mix are always a welcome sight."

Krystkowiak said no players have been ruled out due to the flu bug. "Not at this point," he said. "We'll see how guys are holding up come game time."
