Iverson, the NBA's leading scorer with a 31.2 average, is
sidelined with a tailbone contusion. Hill, averaging 9.7 points and
9.3 rebounds, is out with a back sprain. McKie has a sprained right
knee.
Philadelphia has the best record in the Eastern Conference at
51-23 and leads Milwaukee by four games in the race for the No. 1
seed in the playoffs. The Sixers have won just three of their last
10 games and are 10-9 since trading for Dikembe Mutombo.
"We have eight games left and I was hopeful that by now we
would be starting to get comfortable with one another,"
Philadelphia coach Larry Brown said. "But it seems like everyday
we have a new injury and another guy out."
Eric Snow will play despite having discomfort in his right
ankle, which was surgically repaired and kept him out of 32 games
this season. Brown said he decided against putting Snow on the
injured list for the rest of the season.
