Ben Simmons: ‘100 percent’ healthy heading into camp

This isn’t exactly breaking news, as Simmons has been fully cleared for
basketball activities for more than a month, but it’s nonetheless encouraging to
hear from Simmons, himself. The 2016 No. 1 pick missed all of what would have
been his rookie season, but he’s fully recovered from a broken foot and has
drawn rave reviews in team workouts this summer. The expectation is that Simmons
will begin the season as the Sixers’ nominal starting power forward, though
coach Brett Brown has openly stated that Simmons will play several positions,
including point guard.
