Tom Moore of the Bucks County Courier Times reported the news after Simmons was seen dominating a local pick-up game in Melbourne this week.
The Aussie sensation suffered a foot injury last September which kept him out his entire rookie year.
The initial diagnosis was only a three-month absence for Simmons, but he suffered setbacks in the recovery process.
The Sixers still haven't received word on if Joel Embiid is cleared after a torn left meniscus kept him out of the lineup late last season.
If, and that's a big if, the Sixers are fully fit many are expecting them to make a push for the playoffs.
This Simmons' news could be the start of positive things in Philadelphia this season.
