The Sixers entered the weekend on the heels of their fourth and final training camp practice at Stockton University in Galloway, NJ; however, during that session, 2016 number one draft pick Ben Simmons sustained a fracture in the fifth metatarsal of his right foot.

On Sunday, October 2nd, the Sixers gathered to practice for the first time since Simmons' injury was announced. Several members of the organization spoke about the situation, and addressed how the team, in the short term, will move forward.
