Trust the process.

He and his camp think hes good to go. Pels camp are being super cautious. IF they make the playoffs there is a chance he'll play then, is the best 'insider' info I've got.

tbh the pels medical team treat him like they make their decisions based on realgm headcannon. But i have to believe they know what's best, in the long run.

You'd hope he could jump before they consider bringing him back.
He might be totally ready in terms of getting over his injuries, and there'd still be a period of ramping up game fitness, and to prevent him getting new injuries.

Get him to run 20km and then throw down a windmill...then we might see him as 'less ready'. Who knows, end of day.

He should play. Kind of sick of how so many stars have missed a huge amount of games this season for no good reason.

Why isn’t there footage of snack time?

Him being able to do fancy dunks doesn't mean sh*t lol he's probably THE biggest freak athlete of all time...

What will matter is what he looks like when those hoodies come off, is he actually in shape or still the roundest mound?!

Save me the dunks...I wanna see Zion running (not bow leggedly jogging) some sprints up & down a court.

Yea, right now Ben Simmons can probably do some athletic dunks in warmups but that doesn’t mean hes in viable game shape.

Zion will be begging to sub after one full court run.

Yup...and I'm paying more attention to how he's landing than how high is he getting up.

He looks like he's having a hard time controlling his body and it's momentum which is a bad sign because then he's likely STILL well overweight and then of course still a huge injury risk moving forward.

Yawn. He still walk off weird afterwards. I hate to say it, but dude has injury prone written all over him.

jokeboy86 · Post #16 » by **jokeboy86** » Thu Apr 14, 2022 1:46 am

Meh. Yeah he can dunk but this isn't football where every play is in short bursts followed by rest. He still doesn't look close to being in good cardio shape as far as conditioning.

Better for his long term health to hold him out. He'll dominate next season.

A 360 pounds dunk is impressive.

He still looks out of shape and heavy. He's far from playing.
