OK, one of two things is going on here:

  1. The Sixers’ medical staff continues to put their incompetence on full display by letting Ben Simmons, whose foot still hadn’t fully healed as of February 24, throw down windmill dunks during pre-game shootarounds. Or…
  2. Simmons’ foot is actually fine and that potential Rookie of the Year kicker from Nike informed the decision to have him sit out for the rest of the season.

I see no middle ground.

Simmons’ dunk would like to send a special shoutout to Joel Embiid shooting barefoot step-back threes in practice just weeks ago. This one goes out to you, ill-advised practice routine!
