If I know how to read a calendar like I think I do, every week over one is technically considered “weeks.” If we look at a calendar today. it is February 22nd, 2022 (red circle). The Nets and Ben Simmons will be in Philly on March 10th, 2022 (green circle):

The typical week lasts 7 days. March 10th is 16 days away. 7+7=14. That means there are 2 ‘weeks’ between now and the Nets game. Those must be the ‘weeks’ Ramona Shelburne is reporting. Ben Simmons is playing on March 10th. Time for every Sixers fan with tickets to the game to go on a strict regiment of honey tea and bedrest. Get those vocal chords strong. Tell your employer it’s for the greater good. We’re going to need everyone to put Ben Simmons through 48 minutes of hell.
