Winning four out of the last five games is a positive trend for the Philadelphia 76ers, but even in the midst of this positive trend, there is still some encouraging news coming from the Sixers organization in regards to one players’ road to recovery. According to Derek Bonder of the Athletic, injured rookie Zhaire Smith‘s recovery hasn’t gone as planned.
Due to these complications Zhaire Smith has not yet resumed basketball related activities and his return to play timetable has been pushed back. He is unlikely to return prior to the new year, per a source.
