The health of Philadelphia 76ers All-Star point guard Ben Simmons is on the mind of every fan and prognosticator as the NBA season gets set to resume in late July. Coach Brett Brown caused a stir recently as he said that he is not entirely sure if Simmons is at 100% after initially injuring the back on February 22 against the Milwaukee Bucks.
If this recent workout video is any indication, Simmons is more than at 100% health.
A video of the 6-foot-10 point guard has made its way around the social media world that shows him dunking at full force and he looks to be moving well too. He would not be able to perform some of these moves if his back was still bothering him.

Of course, back injuries are still tricky, so it remains to be seen if he can do this against defenders in a real game, but this is a good sign for Sixers fans. Simmons’ mobility is going to be at the forefront as they get set to chase a championship down in Orlando. [lawrence-related id=33232,33222,33216]
