News & Neuigkeiten » Saturday night. SILVERSTONE, England --

The Cavaliers may have recently broken the city of Clevelands championship curse, but Philadelphias run of bad luck with their rookies has unfortunately continued. 2016 first overall pick Ben Simmons suffered a fracture of the fifth metatarsal bone of his right foot on Friday. Simmons rolled his right ankle during the teams final training camp scrimmage at Stockton University.The team has given no indication when the Aussie phenom might be able to return to basketball activities.Its yet another setback for a team that has been inundated with major injuries to their most recent draft picks. Nerlens Noel sat out his first full season while recovering from a torn ACL, and Joel Embiid will finally make his NBA debut this season after sitting out the first two seasons of his professional career with foot ailments of his own. In addition, last years No. 3 overall pick Jahlil Okafor began his rookie campaign healthy, but succumbed to a knee injury after 53-games.Its Simmons injury, however, that threatens to derail a promising Philadelphia core.The 610 point forward has been anticipated as a franchise player since his lone season with Louisiana State, and heralded as the savior for a fanbase that hasnt had much to cheer about in recent years.Simmons was drafted to be the new face of Philadelphia, and their on-floor leader. In six Summer League games in July, Simmons averaged 10.8 points, 7.7 rebounds and 5.5 assists per game, impressing with his all-round versatility, and ability to play all five positions -- something that 76ers coach Brett Brown definitely took advantage of.Fridays injury means fans wont be seeing Simmons wizardry for a while.Although its still too early to assess the ramifications for Simmons, its worth noting that it has not been confirmed whether he suffered an avulsion fracture of his foot, or the dreaded Jones fracture.Avulsion fractures account for 90 percent of all fractures of the base of the fifth metatarsal, and rehab time is typically 6-8 weeks, but history suggests that players with larger frames who suffer through foot and ankle problems early in their career, never return as the player they once were.One positive for Simmons is that the Brooklyn Nets Brook Lopez, who suffered a stress fracture of the fifth metatarsal, returned in under two months and played at an All-Star level. Obviously, the size and weight of a player makes a huge difference in the recovery process.In recent months Simmons had added almost 33 pounds as he prepared his body for the rigors of the NBA season.I am a lot stronger now than I was in college and it will help me take hits and bumps, Simmons said on Monday at the teams new practice facility during the teams media day. When I started at LSU, I was about 217 (pounds) and now Im about 250, so I gained a lot of weight.Renowned trainer Tim Grover speculated that Simmons added weight might have contributed to the injury, but the pathology of an avulsion fracture suggests the injury occurs after forcible inversion of the foot, which, given the injury to Simmons occurred during a scrimmage, gives optimism that the injury is not as severe as a Jones fracture.Where does this leave the 76ers as the season approaches?Although its unfair to have expected Simmons to carry this still developing Philadelphia team to a playoff berth, his absence will leave a cavernous hole in coach Brett Browns system. Brown had talked about starting Simmons at power forward (his most natural position in the modern NBA), but also playing him as the teams primary ball-handler for large portions of games as well.A logjam at the frontcourt positions means the 76ers can plug any one of Noel, Okafor, Embiid, and unproven rookie Dario Saric in at the power forward position, but Simmons absence puts an end to any vision Brown had of utilizing the Australians versatility and causing match-up nightmares for opposition coaches.Short term what this means for Simmons is that his career has been put on hold for the moment. Its an obstacle that hell have to overcome, and he can lean on teammates who have been in this same position before him. Long term, questions will linger as to if and how this injury will affect him.I think its still surreal for me, Simmons mused on Monday. I think itll finally hit me once I step on the court matched up against OKC the first game.Now fans are left to wonder when that first game will actually be. Ruben Loftus-Cheek England Jersey . Walcott is available for Saturdays home match against Southampton as Arsenal looks to extend its two-point lead at the top of the Premier League. The Gunners are currently the second highest scorers in the league but Wenger insists Walcott will add something extra to his team. Nick Pope England Jersey . "I wrote 36 on my sheet at the beginning of the game," the Cincinnati coach said, referring the yard line the ball would need to be snapped from. http://www.englandsoccerpro.com/Fabian-Delph-England-Jersey/ .com) - The game was all punts and field goals before Kodi Whitfields catch. John Stones Jersey . The 20-year-old Pelicans big man glanced up and smiled widely at the well-wishers -- a fitting end to a day he wont soon forget. Davis responded to his selection earlier in the day as a Western Conference All-Star with 26 points and 10 rebounds, and the New Orleans Pelicans overcame a 10-point fourth-quarter deficit to defeat the Minnesota Timberwolves 98-91 on Friday night. Fabian Delph Jersey .

SILVERSTONE, England -- Sebastian Vettel said his Ferrari car was too slow for him to do any better after finishing ninth in Formula Ones British Grand Prix on Sunday.After starting 11th in wet conditions, the four-time world champion was the first driver to switch to slick tyres, but Vettel spun and struggled as Mercedes Lewis Hamilton enjoyed a record third successive home win.Overall it was not our day, said the German.
