    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">There will be two questions for the 76ers when they meet the Bucks tonight in Milwaukee: Will Allen Iverson be part of the lineup? And will center Samuel Dalembert make his first appearance of the season?

    Iverson and Dalembert made the flight to Milwaukee yesterday afternoon and whether they play will be game-time decisions at the Bradley Center.

    Iverson felt ill during Monday's 103-91 win over the visiting New Orleans Hornets and left the game in the third quarter after playing a season-low 34 minutes. He said that he felt dizzy and sick, especially in the second half.

    Iverson did not attend yesterday's practice at the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine. The Sixers sent their medical staff to his house.

    According to a team spokesman, Iverson will be evaluated after this morning's shoot-around.

    As for Dalembert, he will be making his first road trip of the season. He did not play in the first 12 games because of a strained right quadriceps.

    Dalembert practiced yesterday. According to Sixers president and general manager Billy King, the center is medically cleared to play.

    Dalembert fears returning too soon and aggravating the injury. The 6-foot-11 Dalembert said he was close to suiting up for Monday's game against New Orleans but decided against it at the last minute.

    "I was going to do it, but I have to be smart," Dalembert said yesterday after practice. "I don't want to just go out and play five minutes. I want to play and not hold back."</div>

    We need Dalembert back but he needs to be 100% before he comes back, I don't want to hear about him limping off the court in the first quarter because he re aggravted that quad strain. As for Allen, I don't think it would hurt him to play. He might get sicker but even I've played with flu and asthmatic symptoms and I was ok after a few days lol , and the 76ers get a little break after tonights game for Thanksgiving.

    Wow, Dalembert might play. This comes as a surprise to me because I thought he wouldn't be close to playing not until late next week. But honestly, I'd rather him sit out a couple more games. Going against Magloire with a bad quad is not very smart, but if anything if he decides to play he better not start and instead come off the bench and play against a 2nd unit.

    As for Allen 'The Warrior" Iverson, I'd be shocked if he doesn't play. For starters this is the same team that broke his heart on opening night and being the competitive person he is, I'm sure he would be out for redemption and also, it's only a flu btw. He scored 50 points with a very bad flu two seasons ago. So I don't think this is anything he can't handle.
