PHILADELPHIA (AP) The Philadelphia 76ers traded forward Monty Williams, a draft pick and cash to the Orlando Magic on Tuesday for a conditional second-round draft pick. The 6-foot-8 Williams has spent this season on the injured list with a bad left knee. He has averaged 6.3 points and 2.8 rebounds in nine seasons. The Sixers traded their conditional second-round pick in next year's draft. That selection was obtained in a trade with Golden State. In that 2002 deal, the Sixers sent the draft rights for Jiri Welsch to Golden State. Philadelphia received a future protected first-round selection in addition to regaining its 2005 first-round pick from the Warriors from a previous trade. The 2003 protected first-round selection from Golden State converted into a conditional second-round choice when the original terms of the that pick were not met. The amount of cash was not disclosed. The Sixers also placed center Marc Jackson on the injured list with a broken left ring finger. Jackson, who averaged 10.3 points and 6.3 rebounds in 19 games, was injured Dec. 2. He will have the pins in his finger removed Jan. 6. He said he could be out another two to four weeks thereafter. ``Any kind of touching it hurts real bad,'' he said.
