76ers Will Look At Options To Replace Speights

The 76ers will be without emerging forward Marreese Speights for up to two months.

Speights suffered a partial tear of the MCL in his left knee on Saturday night, leaving Philadelphia's roster thin.

"We're looking at lists of potential players and options," general manager Ed Stefanski said. "I wouldn't see us making a quick move. We'll see how it goes. You never want to see a kid get hurt, but this presents an opportunity for someone to step up or someone to get extra time."

For the time being, the team's rotation will likely change.

"We'll have to look at some things," Stefanski added. "Does it mean added minutes for Jason Smith? Does Thad [Young] play more big-man [minutes]? So far it's been a process for Elton, and I think he's been getting better. Maybe this is a chance for more minutes for him."
