All has been quiet on the Nerlens Noel front since his surprise knee surgery last month. Now, we know he’s currently rehabbing in Birmingham, Alabama with some famous faces. Namely, pro wrestler Finn Balor, who suffered a severe injury to his shoulder at this year’s SummerSlam.
Balor posted the above picture to Instagram today, showing himself and Noel with clinical physical therapist Dr. Kevin Wilk. Wilk has previously worked with Michael Jordan, Bo Jackson, Charles Barkley, Derek Jeter, Drew Brees, HHH, and John Cena among others.
Along with Noel and Balor, Wilk is working with Bills rookie Reggie Ragland (recovering from a torn ACL) and undrafted UCLA standout Tony Parker, who called Noel out for being a bad spotter last week:

On today’s Stepover Pod, Max and I both agreed that we may have seen the last of Nerlens Noel in a Sixers uniform.
When he's not writing about sports here or ranting about them on Twitter, Jim is probably watching X-Files on Netflix or drinking a beer somewhere. Jim has nothing against hockey, it's just not his style. He once met Duce Staley at a Sixers game.
