The will he/won’t he of Ben Simmons playing this season has taken its wildest turn yet.
The 76ers’ No. 1 pick broke his foot in September and was expected to miss three months. He participated in on-court drills in January, and a follow-up scan later that month came up clean.
But maybe he came back too soon.
Keith Pompey of The Inquirer:
The first overall pick in last summer’s draft is scheduled to visit the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York as early as Monday to determine if his right foot is fully healed, according to multiple sources.
Sources said that a foot scan on Jan. 23 showed that his foot was not fully healed.
A source reiterated that Simmons’ foot not being fully healed isn’t a result of the on-court drills in which he participates.
How does that even happen?
