The Cavaliers may have recently broken the city of Cleveland's championship curse, but Philadelphia's run of bad luck with their rookies has unfortunately continued. 2016 first overall pick Ben Simmons suffered a fracture of the fifth metatarsal bone of his right foot on Friday. Simmons rolled his right ankle during the team's final training camp scrimmage at Stockton University.
The team has given no indication when the Aussie phenom might be able to return to basketball activities.
It's yet another setback for a team that has been inundated with major injuries to their most recent draft picks.
