GALLOWAY, N.J. – 76ers fans won't get to see their beloved Ben Simmons play until Nov. 11 – that's if they're lucky.
The first overall pick in the draft could be sidelined for up to eight weeks after an X-ray and MRI revealed a fracture of the fifth metatarsal bone of his right foot.
A league source believes the point forward has a Zone 2 fracture, or what is commonly called a Jones fracture of the bone.
However, Sixers president Bryan Colangelo and coach Brett Brown could not be reached to confirm the extent of the injury Friday night.
