Davis was placed on the injured list (low back strain) on Feb. 24 and has missed the last five games. The 6-foot-8 forward has played in 23 games for the Sixers this season, including five starts and is averaging 2.3 points and 1.6 rebounds per game. Davis had previously been on the injured list for 18 games from Dec. 17 to Jan. 24 with left elbow bursitis and has missed a total of 24 games due to injury.</div> <div align="center">Source</div> ...Now just wait and see how well Green will slowly flourish under the guidance of Chris Webber.
I've got to admit: the only reason I really like Willie on this team is for the future. What I feel that we should do this offseason is trade both Iverson and Webber for young stars. I'd enjoy seeing us out-do the Bulls in terms of young talent. One can see that they're about to be competitive with what they have. What if we were able to keep Green, Korver, Iguodala, and Dalembert and, at the same time, gain players such as Dwight Howard and Jameer Nelson. I'd bet that Orlando feels as if they're close to a championship [even though they're not] and would love to gain a superstar or two.

Bad idea. Anyways it's good to see Willie re activated. Green is a(/will be a) very reliable scoring threat to this team once he gets his minutes.
Will be good to see how he plays with Webber on the squad. Now that all the pieces are healthy and in place its time to make our run for the Atlantic Division title. Willie gives another scoring option and with the passing of Iverson and Webber, he should make solid contributions.
Good news for me. I really love Green, but its a real shame how he hasn't been able to flourish with Iverson at the point. Hopefully, with the addition of Webber, who is a great passer, Green will be able to flourish and really develop. Should be a great move for Philadelphia but putting depth back into their bench.
<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">What I feel that we should do this offseason is trade both Iverson and Webber for young stars.</div>HAHAHAHA. Welcome back Willie, lets make that run
Activated from the IL and yet another DNP... I like O'Brien as a coach, but I'm hihgly against the way he's "developing" our young players. Green has a very bright future, and O'Brien doesn't give him the minutes that he deserves and at times I don't know what he's doing with Dalembert. Again, O'Brien is a good coach, but he has to be willing to let the youngers guys get into their element and the best way he could do that is by letting them play at least.
