76ers' Ben Simmons suffers fractured right foot

Philadelphia 76ers rookie number-one overall pick Ben Simmons has suffered a fractured fifth metatarsal in his right foot.

What It Means:

What was previously believed to be an ankle sprain turned out much worse for Simmons and the 76ers. He should be considered doubtful for the season opener until more information is known. Dario Saric is now a target on all draft boards while Jerryd Bayless, Robert Covington and the whole Philadelphia rotation gains some value.

Philadelphia ranked 29th with a 20.8 nERD last season, while turning the ball over at the league's second-highest rate.
