Update:</p> </p> <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'></p> <div class="bi">Dalambert Sits</div> <div> <span style="font-style: italic">Oct 15</span> - Center Samuel Dalembert was on the sideline for the second straight outing as he recovers from a stress fracture in his left foot. He will not travel with the Sixers when they leave for Utah and a Wednesday date with the Jazz. -- <font color="#000000">Philadelphia Inquirer</font></p> </p> </p> [*]"A lot of precaution," said Dalembert, who had his left foot in a protective boot, a hard cast and a boot again in the weeks leading up to training camp. "I didn't do any rehab [at first]; when I started doing the rehab, everything got better. I started feeling a little pain [Wednesday], I stepped back from it. [*] </p> "It's messing with my head, but like I tell coach, 'As soon as the season starts, I'm with you, from the beginning to the end.' I don't want to push it right now, in the preseason, and make it worse. I'm pretty confident I'm going to be ready. I want to push it when it's worth it." -- <font color="#000000">Philadelphia Daily News</font></p></div> </div>
