Philadelphia 76ers rookie Ben Simmons has been cleared for full basketball activity after missing the entire 2016-17 campaign with a broken right foot, a source told Tom Moore of the Bucks County Courier Times.
Simmons was originally expected to miss just three months after injuring his foot last September, but was later ruled out for the remainder of the season in February.

The 21-year-old averaged 19.2 points, 11.8 rebounds, and 4.8 assists as a freshman at LSU in 2015-16.
Joel Embiid is still waiting to be cleared after missing the end of last season with a torn left meniscus.
