Same thing that happened a year ago. What is wrong with this dude’s back? He’s only 27
People almost 7ft tall tend to have back, knee or feet problems.

It’s on the record Ben Simmons injured his back in the NBA during quarantine/player strikes by spending too much time on the couch.
I guess it’s possible he is actually just that prone to back problems, but I’m thinking a guy as young as he was would have to have generally terrible habits off the court to legitimately injure his back passively over a few months like that.
Not sure if that injury is related to this one, but spine wear & tear isn’t reversible.
He’s built like a statue, so I have a hard time believing it’s genetic. Could just be years of bad habits intersecting with the gauntlet of being a professional athlete.
