    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Forward Derrick Coleman injured his finger during the Sixers 98-93 loss to the Magic on Friday night and was placed on the injured list, and guard Willie Green was activated following the game.

    Coleman left the game with 59.3 seconds remaining in the first quarter with a right hand injury. Upon further examination, Coleman suffered a fracture of his right fourth metacarpal. Coleman will be placed in a cast and will be out approximately six weeks. Coleman has already missed 13 games this season with a left knee strain. He was averaging 8.7 points and 6.2 rebounds in 29 games this season.

    Green, who has was placed on the injured list on Dec. 10, injured his right thumb during practice on Dec. 3 and had successful surgery to repair a tear of the ulnar collateral ligament in his right thumb on Dec. 5. The 6-foot-4 rookie from Detroit has appeared in 15 games this season, posting averages of 8.5 minutes and 1.9 points per game. Originally drafted by Seattle in the second round (41st overall pick) of the 2003 NBA Draft, Green was acquired by the Sixers on June 26, 2003 for the draft rights to Paccelis Morlende (50th overall pick of the 2003 Draft) and an undisclosed amount of cash.</div>

    although this sucks, what was DC really doing for us anyway? nothing. so bringing in sammy to start is a good thing. i think we have a winning record with sammy starting.

    It's pretty funny that DC and Thomas got hurt on the same play.
