Philadelphia 76ers forward Ben Simmons rolled his right ankle during the final scrimmage of the team's 2016 Training Camp at Stockton University earlier today.

After receiving an X-ray and MRI of the foot and ankle, the images were reviewed by Sixers Head Physician Dr. Christopher Dodson and Sixers Chief Medical Officer and Co-Chief of Sports Medicine Orthopedics at New York's Mount Sinai Medical Center Dr. Jonathan Glashow.

It was determined that Simmons suffered a fracture of the fifth metatarsal bone of his right foot.

Further medical evaluation and treatment options are being considered at this time and additional updates will be provided when appropriate.

Philly can't get right. Last season now this. I hope long term he'll be okay.

 

[Amajorfucup]

He'll be alright, not his ankle its his pinky toe.... No worries here Bruh

You sure about that It Is? I'm so sick of this shit bruh.

 

[IT IS WHAT IT IS]

basically... he will miss maybe 10 games, get worked back in slowly over the next 5, and be alright. Completely different than Embiid...

 

[jack walsh13]

Guess I won't be going to that home opener against the Thunder then.

You sure about that It Is? I'm so sick of this shit bruh.

Absolutely. Freak injury, but the break isn't in an area that supports a lot of weight. Embiids was in the center area of his foot, totally different. He'll be cool bruh, don't even sweat it...

 

[DAHITMAN]

damn

Still wanna see Embiid though... We weren't going to do much this year anyway, so I'm not tripping.

Its the long bone that connects the pinky toe and if it doesn't get time to heal properly will be a problem...I know 1st hand

Gotta be careful with that because of the high chance of reoccurrence. He should go to Dr. O'Malley, the Nets doctor. Healed Durant and Lopez

Man I hope so...I was ready to flip based off the headlines.

Yeah but I'm just tired of the injury bullshit man. Tired of waiting and waiting and fuckin waiting.

Yep. Since we weren't expected to do much this year, trying to protect the picks in next years draft there is little to no incentive to rush him so it's all good. With whats invested in him, guaranteed they are going to open the checkbook to make sure the worlds best take care of this shit...

Lucky for the city Wentz is balling out or this shit would be really fucked up!!

They won't rush him Bruh... Even if he sits the first 20 they are going to do right by him.

It was in our interest to wait this season anyway, from the perspective of winning, with the position of our picks next year. I guarantee you they don't rush him back, we need that PG bruh...

Guess your right. With the ability to swap picks with Sacramento and the Lakers pick that looks good. One of them niggas we draft next year will probably slice his finger off cutting a watermelon or slip and fall getting some Dunkin Donuts or some bullshit.

 

[futureshock]

And these eagles fools got the nerve to think that they are going to win a SB. All of their sports teams are cursed.

Yeah they won't rush him back. Is that Spanish nigga we got to play point any good It Is?

Yeah Sergio is gonna be alright Bruh... hes gonna be a good backup next year when we get our real PG in the draft... Simmons injury is literally the same one Durant had a few years ago. Even with his, before he came back the prognosis was a low degree of recurring breaks because of the type of break. Don't sweat it Bruh, gonna be a pain not seeing him play early but he's good...

 

[BrownTurd]
