<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Allen Iverson - out, right index finger sprain and right knee contusion John Salmons - out, bronchitis Brian Skinner - out, flu like symptoms Kenny Thomas - practice to tolerance, mid back strain</div> 76ers Injury Report Ironically, with a sprained finger he's been playing even better. Not counting the back-to-back 50+ point?s games, Iverson has been shooting the ball well nonetheless. So as far as the sprained finger goes, I could care less, I just hope he didn't damage it more. However, the right knee contusion is quite disturbing. Remember, this is the same nagging injury that kept him out for majority of the season. While it's most likely that he may play tomorrow night in Indiana, his knees may be a little weak after what he's been doing as of late. Another injury I'm worried about is Kenny Thomas mid back strain. While it's not very severe he missed last night's game which could have possibly been won if he was playing. But nonetheless, it's not very serious even though he's missed 3 of the last 4 games. Well, hopefully he'll be available in the next game because after that loss to the Utah Jazz the 76ers tone heading into the road trip isn't necessarily high right now, so Thomas would be a big help.
I guess the real strength of Pliladelphia is seeing how well they can perform with injuries. It will say very much if the Sixers can win without their good players. I think now Iguodala, and Korver will put up better numbers. Tough loss for yoou guys though. Hopefully they can survive. How is their shedule? Are there any tough games coming up?

The teams we will play (in order) Indiana Portland Seattle Denver Clippers Golden State Utah Minnesota Its going to be a long road trip.......
Hoipefully we can get healthy soon, because we are going to need all of are players for this tough upcomming road trip. One thing i dont want to see happen, is AI make his knee injury worse by continuing to play. If he needs to rest it rest i t or it'll grow on him. I heard KT's back injury was pretty bade. Hopefuly it doesnt plauge him because when you have back problems they are known to come on and off.
I do not think this is so bad. None of these injuries look like they will keep these players out a extensive period of time. Last year we had injuries like broken hands, and other broken bones and they where out like a month or two if not worst needing surgery like AI did. Hell DC, AI, and Glenn Robinson misssed 120 combined games that year. KT he is a guy that can fight through injuries to a point if he misses a game it will probably be like two or three at most. Skinner we do not play much, but flu symptoms happen to everyone he will be back in a wekk at most. AI will play through his injuries, and though Salmons bronchitis may be serious I do not think he will be out for the better part of the season.
