Zhaire Smith has a Jones fracture in his foot and will undergo surgery. No timetable on his return.

At this point, perhaps the franchise should be renamed as the Philadelphia Gap Year(s), LOL ;D.

Isn't that the same kind of fracture Simmons had? *looks it up* yup.  Seems pretty serious. Too bad for Smith. Weird that the Process is simultaneously successful and snakebit.

Yeah, it’s also what KD had a few years back.  Generally seems to be a 6-9 month recovery, with a risk of recurrence if not properly healed, so conservative approaches tend to be preferred.  Given that he’s a project rookie and unlikely to provide much use if he’s thrown into the rotation post-ASB, I expect they’ll hold him out all season.

All Philly rookies are subject to The Process.  It's become a tradition.
