On today’s episode of The Gastroenteritis Blues, Steve, Emily and Dan react to the news of the day: Ben Simmons is back in Philadelphia. Is this anything more than Daryl Morey successfully calling Ben & Klutch’s bluff? Will he be ‘injured’? Will he actually return to play for the Sixers? They round up the surrounding reports on the topic and try to absorb what this means for their beloved Sixers.

On a more lighthearted note, the preseason Sixers have been lots of fun. Joel Embiid looks phenomenal, Tyrese Maxey is the future, and Isaiah Joe is absolutely killing it. What do they make of the apparent competition between Maxey and Shake Milton? Or Furkan Korkmaz destroying the preseason Brooklyn Nets? It’s all here.
