Ben Simmons undergoes bone marrow injections to aid recovery

Philadelphia 76ers coach Brett Brown says Ben Simmons has not yet returned to normal training following a minor procedure in which bone marrow was injected into his injured foot.

"I don't know when that week timeline started," Brown said ahead of Philadelphia's clash with Milwaukee. "For me and him it's been more communication and talking about the summer and what we're going to be doing to plan for that more than being on a court doing stuff.
