Zhaire Smith returning to basketball activities

According to Shams Charania of The Athletic, Zhaire Smith ‘has started his return’ to the Sixers:

Sources @TheAthleticNBA @WatchStadium: 76ers rookie Zhaire Smith has started his return process to the team after broken foot and allergy issue, being assigned to G League Delaware for non-contact elements of practice. He’ll ramp up activities as weeks progress.

Big news. Good news. Happy news.

Some feared Zhaire Smith would not play at all this year. This doesn’t guarantee he will, but it’s a damn good sign, and I fully expect him to play on the Wells Fargo Center court this season.
