76ers' Brand expected to be available


​

Philadelphia forward Elton Brand, who played a limited role Tuesday night in the 76ers' 100-99 loss to the Boston Celtics, had an MRI exam Wednesday morning, which showed his right shoulder injury is healing.

The 76ers expect Brand to be in uniform Thursday night against Indiana.

Brand played against the Celtics with a protective covering on the shoulder. He came off the bench for the sixth straight game, didn't play in the second half and was scoreless in only 8 minutes of action.

Brand, who dislocated his right shoulder Dec. 17, said his shoulder felt stiff the past few days. He called the discomfort a "setback, absolutely," and didn't know if he would miss any more games.

"It's not just the pain, it's the restriction," Brand said. "It's like I can't make a little hook shot without it bothering me."

Brand signed an $80 million, five-year contract in the offseason.

This sucks that the 76ers sign him to a five year contract and he hasn't been able to do much. Everyone had high expectations for this team.
