Philadelphia was a bit short handed this evening because Al Horford was taking a well-earned load-management rest day. But they got a pleasant surprise. Back from his AC Sprain, Ben Simmons rejoined the lineup. That he was ready to go after missing just two games with the shoulder issue was very good news. And they got the win tonight. And nobody got seriously hurt. That’s basically where the good news ends.
Let’s not ignore good news! Alaa Abdelnaby on the NBCS-Philly broadcast noted that Ben was sneaking his arms into passing lanes to disrupt plays in a way that suggested he may not be protecting a sore limb.
