<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">While spending the last five 76ers games nursing a sprained right knee, Steven Hunter didn't care much for sitting out. "It's hard, man," the Sixers' backup center said last night before returning to the lineup for the team's game against the Miami Heat. "It's hard especially for me because I'm not the type of person that really gets hurt a lot. "I'm not a training-room guy. I hate being in there and getting treatment and not being able to do stuff. I just hate it. As quick as I can come back, I'm going to definitely come back." With the Sixers at 5-8 entering last night's game at AmericanAirlines Arena, Hunter felt there was a need to be back in the lineup. He played 18 minutes, contributing three points and three rebounds. Sixers coach Maurice Cheeks said he felt Hunter was moving all right during his workouts and that he had no problems with his knee after finishing them. "He was being active, so that was all we were looking for," Cheeks said. "We checked to see if he had any soreness and he said he didn't." Sixers starting forward Chris Webber missed his sixth consecutive game last night with lower back stiffness and soreness. The Sixers are off for the next four days, and the team hopes Webber can return for Saturday's game at New Jersey. </div> Link
