Has Sports Medicine Gotten TOO Good for Philadelphia 76ers?

The Philadelphia 76ers have not had a full healthy 15 man roster for over four years. As a matter of fact, not one NBA regular season game under head coach Brett Brown with a full healthy roster. And so, the team faces the latest news of players falling to injury:

Covington MRI revealed a slight tear of lateral meniscus, will miss rest of the season. Okafor will also sit out rest of the season.

The Injury list of the Philadelphia 76ers could read like a future NBA All-Star lineup:

Center Joel Embiid – Out – Meniscus Tear
Center Jahlil Okafor – Out – Sore Knee (prerequisite for Meniscus Tear)
Point Forward Ben Simmons – Out – Jones Fracture Foot
Guard Jerryd Bayless – Out – Wrist injury
Forward Robert Covington – Out – Meniscus Tear

Plus Players on/off injured list

Now to that list, you can also add Sergio Rodriguez (hamstring) and Gerald Henderson (hip) to a on/off lineup list.
