Philadelphia 76ers President and General Manager Billy King announced today that the Sixers have waived guard Kedrick Brown and placed forward Josh Davis (low back strain) and guard Willie Green (left heel pain) on the injured list.

Brown, a 6-foot-7, 222-pounder, has seen action in eight games this season, scoring 12 points and grabbing 11 rebounds. Brown was acquired by the 76ers on July 20, 2004, along with guard Kevin Ollie in a trade that sent guard Eric Snow to the Cleveland Cavaliers. A two-year player at Okaloosa-Walton Junior College, Brown was selected by the Boston Celtics in the first round (11th overall) of the 2001 NBA Draft. The Celtics dealt him to Cleveland on Dec. 15, 2003. Brown has career averages of 3.6 points, 2.4 rebounds and 13.5 minutes per game over 143 games (36 starts).

Davis is placed on the injured list with a low back strain. The 6-foot-8 forward has played in 23 games for the Sixers this season, including five starts and is averaging 2.3 points and 1.6 rebounds per game. Davis had previously been on the injured list for 18 games from Dec. 17 to Jan. 24 with left elbow bursitis and has missed a total of 19 games due to injury.

Green, who is averaging 8.1 points and 2.7 rebounds per game this season in 44 games (20 starts), is being placed on the injured list with left heel pain. The 6-foot-4 Detroit Mercy product has not missed any games this season due to injury but has been a DNP-CD nine times. The second-year player enjoyed one of his best games as a professional on Jan. 26, 2005, when he scored a career-high 32 points at Washington.
