Prior to their preseason finale against the Miami Heat, the Philadelphia 76ers released updated information on the injuries to Jerryd Bayless, Nerlens Noel and Ben Simmons. While the news concerning Bayless and Simmons is not really a surprise, Noel is apparently scheduled to have minor surgery in the coming days.
Here is the report from Sixers.com:
Jerryd Bayless
Bayless has participated in non-contact, individualized workouts since training camp due to a left wrist injury, for which he has been receiving treatment. This was ultimately identified as a ligament injury in his left wrist.
Bayless has worked closely with the team and medical staff to gather additional information on the injury and assess all treatment options. After consulting with multiple wrist and hand specialists, it has been determined that Bayless will pursue a non-surgical option to address the injury.
Bayless will continue his rehabilitation for the next two weeks under the day-to-day guidance of Sixers Director of Physiotherapy and Clinical Diagnostics Scott Epsley, and will be re-evaluated at that time.
Nerlens Noel
During the normal course of evaluation and treatment for his left adductor strain, which was identified on October 6, Noel reported localized soreness in his left knee. After consulting with multiple specialists, the source of the soreness was identified as inflamed plica. Noel has elected to address the injury via a minor surgical procedure in the coming days.
Ben Simmons
Simmons, who underwent successful surgery to repair an acute Jones fracture of the fifth metatarsal of his right foot on October 4, recently had his two-week, post-operative exam. Simmons had his sutures removed and is continuing to progress with his day-to-day rehabilitation and recovery under the guidance of Sixers Director of Performance Research & Development Dr. David T. Martin, and Sixers Director of Physiotherapy and Clinical Diagnostics Scott Epsley.
Earlier today, Keith Pompey of the Philadelphia Inquirer spoke with Brett Brown, who said that he expected Simmons to be back in January, but before tip-off against the heat, he backed off those comments.
Brown on Ben Simmons: "I was just getting excited about how soon he might be able to come back. ..

… There are so much speculations and dates as a coach, you sort of want to hear what you want to hear at a time. …

I did mention a January hopeful return. That is premature."

Though there is no timetable for Simmons' return, he's expected to miss at least three months.
