The Philadelphia 76ers have been impacted by injuries heavily over the past few years. Nerlens Noel sat out his rookie year due to an ACL tear, Joel Embiid missed his first two seasons due to a foot fracture, last season Jahlil Okafor missed the last 20 games or so due to a knee injury, and now Ben Simmons is out indefinitely with a foot fracture.
Of course, the team also experiences general bumps and bruises along the way each season that most teams see occur. As of late, however, some of the injuries that have occurred — all even before the regular season — have been in somewhat curious circumstances, leading to some conspiracy theories.
