The injury issues just will not stop for the Philadelphia 76ers. The regular season doesn’t tip off for the team for another three days, but the team has already seen its fair share of injuries for seemingly an entire season.
First up was Ben Simmons a few weeks ago, who fractured his fifth metatarsal in his foot (also known as a Jones fracture).
Then came the growing suspicion that Jahlil Okafor still was not fully recovered as he appeared in just five minutes of preseason action (in the final game on Friday).
Nerlens Noel needs minor surgery to repair his knee, something that will likely keep him out for at least a month.
