Ben Simmons Less Likely To Play At All This Season

Ben Simmons is appearing less likely to play at all this season as he continues to recover from surgery on a broken foot.

“I don’t think so,” Brown said. “I feel like he’s moving forward, but to say that we believe he’s going to be ready for 5-on-5 during the All-Star break would be misleading. I don’t see that. 

“He is moving forward but it’s at a very slow pace, our pace. I think when we all get back and he’s around the team again, because it’s not an ideal situation to manufacture 5-on-5 during a break, then we can better craft and construct to allow the return to play to be more responsible.”

Simmons hasn't been traveling with the Philadelphia 76ers lately.
