Toronto (22-41) at Philadelphia (31-31) 7:00 pm EST
PHILADELPHIA (Ticker) -- The Philadelphia 76ers' playoff push
will carry on without Allen Iverson, for at least one game and
possibly a few more.
Iverson will not play Tuesday when the 76ers host the Toronto
Raptors.
The superstar guard suffered a sprained right foot in Sunday's
94-91 win at Memphis and may miss up to a week of action.
Playing the second half without its leader, Philadelphia was
able to snap a three-game slide with its win over the Grizzlies.
Chris Webber collected 31 points, 10 rebounds and nine assists.
Webber will be called upon to handle the scoring load in
Iverson's absence. The Sixers enter Tuesday in seventh place in
the Eastern Conference, one-half game ahead of Milwaukee and
three back of New Jersey in the Atlantic Division.
The Raptors salvaged the finale of a three-game homestand by
posting a 93-89 victory over Indiana on Sunday. Morris
Peterson, Chris Bosh and Mike James each topped the 20-point
mark and Toronto forced 20 turnovers.
Iverson averaged 31.3 points as Philadelphia won the first three
meetings between the teams this season.
