just read the preview for philly.... Lebron isnt playing but...
CLEVELAND (Ticker) -- The Philadelphia 76ers once again will be shorthanded when they visit the Cleveland Cavaliers on Saturday at Gund Arena.
The 76ers, who have been beset with injuries this season, suffered some more on Friday in a 98-93 home loss to league-worst Orlando.
Forward-center Derrick Coleman suffered a broken pinkie and will be out up to six weeks and forward Kenny Thomas received a corneal abrasion when accidentally elbowed by Zaza Pachulia. Both occurred in the first quarter.
Aaron McKie also is questionable for Saturday's contest with a hamstring strain. He was scoreless in 10 minutes.
Superstar Allen Iverson scored 30 points but had X-rays after the game after suffering a finger injury in the fourth quarter. The Sixers are 4-6 since he returned from a knee injury. He may sit out Saturday.
OMG thats a lot of injuries, this game should be close then. Hopefully, we beat the Heat and the Cavs pull out the win against the sixers.
