Leapin’ leptons, Zhaire Smith is almost back in action for the Sixers. The 19-year-old super freak athlete is on the home stretch of his road to recovery from a Jones fracture and a frightening allergic incident that left him about 20 pounds lighter and looking rather frail.
Should he return to the Sixers roster, the youngster will be faced with a rigorous task of integrating himself into the rotation rather quickly as the playoffs loom. At the moment, the Sixers’ rotation is rather fluid and not quite set… which is good and bad. Bad because the hourglass is running low and it’d be VERY optimal for the Sixers to figure out their rotations before they face the elite of the East.
