03.2.2005

Philadelphia, PA (Basketball News) - The Philadelphia 76ers activated guard John Salmons from the injured list and placed forward Jamal Mashburn on the IL with patella femoral irritation in his right knee.

After missing five games because of asthmatic bronchitis, Salmons returned to the lineup and scored two points in eight minutes during Philadelphia’s loss to New Jersey on Wednesday.

Mashburn, who hasn’t stepped on the hardwood since March of 2004, was obtained by Philadelphia on February 24 along with Rodney Rogers from New Orleans in exchange for Glenn Robinson. The Hornets placed Mashburn on the injured list on November 1.

The 32-year-old Mashburn averaged 20.8 points and 6.2 rebounds in 19 games for New Orleans in 2003-04.
