Philadelphia 76ers coach Brett Brown said he expects to have rookie and No. 1 draft pick Ben Simmons on the court in a game this season. "Our plan is to still see him on the court, playing games," Brown told ESPN on Wednesday. "We just don't know when. "I fully expect him to play this season. He thinks that, and he's motivated to play." Both Brown and Simmons are in favor of the 6-foot-10, 240-pound point guard/forward making his NBA debut this season, sources told ESPN. However, the decision ultimately rests with the Sixers management. Simmons fractured his foot at the end of September, and the team is being cautious -- especially after dealing with Joel Embiid and his rash of injuries the past couple of years. - See more at: http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/18691738/philadelphia-76ers-expect-ben-simmons-play-season
