Fans of the 76ers have likely learned far more about feet than they've ever needed to or wanted to in the last few years.
After the Sixers first official practice at their new facility in Camden on Sunday, little if anything was confirmed about overall No.1 pick Ben Simmons' broken right foot.
Bryan Colangelo, the team's president of basketball operations, wouldn't specify the type of break that occurred in the fifth metatarsal bone of Simmons' foot during Friday's scrimmage. Colangelo also said surgery on the foot is "likely," but not yet a certainty.
Whatever the course of treatment, coach Brett Brown and a few players expressed sadness, the need to learn from previous mistakes, and the need for other players to seize opportunities.
