The other day, I watched The Shining — an intense, disorienting look at a man’s descent into madness after watching the 2019-20 Sixers years of alcohol abuse and supressed rage. Anyway, the Philadelphia 76ers find themselves in a potentially difficult situation. Ben Simmons could miss extended time due to a lower back injury.
This is — shocker! — not the best news. If Simmons is to miss significant time, the Sixers will be without their point guard. While some will debate the merits of Simmons as a “point guard,” it won’t take long without him to end such discourse.
