It wasn’t game 7 vs the hawks. It was this. A regular season matchup with the bucks on the eve of the pandemic where Ben tweaked his back driving into the paint. Apparently the back pain was so bad that he threw up in the locker room.

[Brett Brown: For those of you who remember in Milwaukee … for me that was as disturbing a memory as it relates to a player that I can think of. He’s lying on his back, he’s vomiting primarily because of pain. Trying to get him back on the plane and build him back up to some level of health where he can play basketball again with us. That timeline was always an interesting one. As the head coach, you ask the question: ‘What do you think?’ His health obviously rules the day. The effort that he has put in, getting [from] where he was, and the significance — he hurt his back in a real way — the effort that he has put in under the restrictions that are all on top of us.](https://www.nbcsportsphiladelphia.com/nba/brett-brown-says-ben-simmons-was-vomiting-because-of-pain-from-back-injury/318576/?amp=1)
A weak drive like that isn’t going to damage his back. It was probably caused by accumulated damage.
In hindsight ben asking out was the best possible thing, glad we got another all star season after this
Cursed jerseys
Is this before or after he hurt it in that all star game
