McKie sits out game at Utah

Dec 30, 2003 2:31 AM EST

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) Philadelphia guard Aaron McKie missed Monday night's game at Utah with a strained hamstring.

McKie, who injured his left hamstring Sunday night in the 76ers' 100-92 loss at Phoenix, had played in all 30 of Philadelphia's games. He is fourth on the team in scoring with an average of 11.1 points per game.

The Sixers were also without Allen Iverson for the eighth straight game because of an injured right knee.

Jazz center Greg Ostertag also missed the game with a sore left knee. He has sat out two of the last three games.

West will have to be won without ailing Iverson

Dec 29, 2003 10:36 AM EST

Sixers guard Allen Iverson (bruised right knee) won't be making the Sixers west coast road trip.

"Coach Randy Ayers, before last night's game with the Phoenix Suns, confirmed that Iverson - who missed his seventh consecutive game and eighth in the last nine - would remain in Philadelphia, continuing a conditioning and therapy program designed to rebuild the strength in his right leg."

The hope now is that he can return for Philadelphia's Jan.5 game against the Milwaukee Bucks.

Monty Williams traded to Orlando

Dec 23, 2003 6:03 PM EST

"Philadelphia 76ers President and General Manager Billy King announced today that the Sixers have acquired a 2004 conditional second round draft pick from the Orlando Magic in exchange for Monty Williams, a 2004 conditional second round draft pick and an undisclosed amount of cash."

The second-round pick Philadelphia is sending to Orlando is one they acquired from the Golden State Warriors in a deal for Jiri Welsch two years ago. It is the Warriors' 2004 second-round pick.

The conditions of the second-round pick Orlando sent to Philadelphia are unknown at this time.

The Magic used the Traded Player Exception they received earlier today from the Donnell Harvey trade to acquire Williams.

Philadelphia made this deal to either clear a much needed spot for their injury-riddled team on the injured list and to help avoid the luxury ax, while getting a Traded Player Exception worth about $1 million that they can use in a future deal.
