NFT: Ben Simmons breaks a bone in his foot...

Chris in Philly : 9/30/2016 9:21 pm
Dammit. He was fun to watch in the summer league. No official timetable. Rumors on the street are everything from 2 weeks to 8 weeks to that long term thing Durant had a couple years ago.

That is true.

You did not type a full sentence, though.
Time to tank again!

Yep. Maybe 20 more years of tanking they may finally win 30 games

2 of them were drafted hurt.
I read the thread title and immediately thought,

I do. Especially with 1st round feet.

That sucks.  
SFGFNCGiantsFan : 10/1/2016 12:04 pm : link
I'm not a 76ers fan obviously, but I was curious to see him & this young team perform.
Certainly not ideal but...  
BurberryManning : 10/1/2016 2:46 pm : link
it's been said that it's not a Jones fracture, which is considered a bit more severe. Simmons should be back a bit before Christmas.
Sixers should take no chances with Simmons  
Steve in South Jersey : 10/1/2016 9:09 pm : link
Make sure that is healed. Rushing him back could be disaster.

I read that it was a Jones. Did you see otherwise? That would be great if it's not.
They seem to be calling it  
Steve in South Jersey : 10/1/2016 9:27 pm : link
an “acute injury”. What does that mean?
My understanding is that "acute" indicates that the injury...  
BurberryManning : 10/1/2016 9:34 pm : link
was caused by contact and not by stress having been built up upon a pressure point. Again, my understanding is that a Jones injury, which is still regularly overcome but a bit more sever, is typically the result of stress fractures.

Trust the Proces.
Jones fracture  
Steve in South Jersey : 10/1/2016 9:35 pm : link
@PompeyOnSixers is reporting that Simmons' fracture is in fact a Jones fracture.
Terrific, so there goes that..  
BurberryManning : 10/1/2016 9:39 pm : link
I still am not worried about Simmons long-term prognosis but fuck...give is a break (poor choice of words)

Not worried long term either, but was really excited to get to see him in regular season games. His summer games were a blast. Oh well. One more year of a mess, then two lottery picks, they get the backcourt, trade a big, then profit.
76ers to tank  
dep026 : 10/1/2016 11:46 pm : link
again.

#1 pick for 2017 - Harry Giles. Because their goal is to start no one shorter than 6'9

PG - Simmons
SG - Giles
SF - Noel
PF - Embiid
C - Okafor

Then 1st round of the NBA Playoffs!
Agent to convince him to not play this entire year?
