The 76ers should strongly consider ending Ben Simmons' season before it officially begins.
It's not as if he's going to play in a lot of games by an NBA standard, anyway.
A source confirmed Saturday that the first overall pick will have surgery next week to repair an acute fracture of the fifth metatarsal bone of his right foot and will be sidelined for three months. ESPN first reported the news.
The franchise has too much invested in Simmons to even consider having him play in a season in which they will be lucky to win 25 games.
