This past Friday during Sixers training camp top pick Ben Simmons suffered an injury. Initially that injury was simply a sprained ankle. Fast forward hours later : timetable for Simmons return is unknown and suffering a bone fracture in his foot. The kid from Australia and all around talent during his lone season at LSU will be sidelined. Despite the opportunity to finally get to see injured Joel Embiid after two years, heavy blow to the city and franchise. Simmons is at the top of the Sixers marketing campaign. In the short term maybe this will give the coaching staff head by Brett Brown the chance to look at Nerlens Noel, Joel Embiid, Dario Saric and Jahlil Okafor far as additional minutes. Reports say surgery is set for later in the week. With a possible time table for three months. However with so much invested in Ben Simmons you don't want to rush him back. With the chance of re injuring himself. Probably a frustrating wait and see approach in Philadelphia. Sixers fans are wondering after the past few years, what positive results can come their way.
