It has been 174 days since the Philadelphia 76ers drafted Ben Simmons with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2016 NBA Draft.
Simmons donned the 76ers' uniform during Summer League, but he is yet to see any playing time during the regular season after suffering a fracture to the fifth metatarsal in his right foot on the final day of training camp.
Philadelphia coach Brett Brown has previously stated there is no timetable for Simmons' return, but he was optimistic the star would be available in January. Today, during Philadelphia's practice, Simmons appeared on the floor, free of the moon boot and shot free throws.
