Sixers starting forward Kenny Thomas was unavailable for action last night because of a lower back injury.  

The injury occurred last Friday versus Toronto while coming down with a rebound.  It is no known how long Thomas will be out, however with him sidelined the Sixers are out 11.3 points and 6.5 rebounds.

"He is out, and we will evaluate him on a daily basis," Sixers coach Jim O'Brien said before last night's game. "The MRIs were negative, so there was nothing structurally wrong."
