Philadelphia 76ers Team Report - March 31

(Basketball News) - Samuel Dalembert posted 18 points and 13 rebounds to lead the Philadelphia 76ers over the Golden State Warriors, 95-71, on Tuesday at the Wachovia Center.

Aaron McKie also netted 18 points and added six boards for the 76ers, who are 2 1/2 games behind the Boston Celtics for the eighth and final playoff spot in the East.

Before Tuesday’s game, the Sixers learned that All-Star guard Allen Iverson will miss the remainder of the regular season because of a right knee injury. Iverson missed his fifth straight game in this one and the Sixers are 13-14 with the Georgetown product this season.

However, the Sixers are an impressive 10-3 without Iverson and forward Glenn Robinson.

Philadelphia is off until Thursday when it hosts the Portland Trail Blazers. It will be the second and final meeting of the season between the two clubs. On November 3, 2003, the Sixers beat the Blazers, 94-83, at the Rose Garden.

Dalembert has averaged 14.3 points and 12.5 rebounds in his last four games.
