Sixers 2018 free agency: potential Mid-level exception targets

Zhaire Smith’s Jones fracture injury shelfs him for the foreseeable future and Philadelphia could pillage the free agent market once again for a potential replacement. According to medical information, an area where I have no expertise in, Jones fracture recovery makes up a six-to-eight week time frame. Given Philadelphia’s investment in Smith’s future, they could sideline their first-round pick for an extended period as a precautionary measure before deeming him healthy.

Post-recovery treatment demands little pressure on your feet and, instead, utilize your upper body. Smith’s timetable could span anywhere from late-November to late-January.
