PHILADELPHIA (Ticker) -- Philadelphia 76ers center Samuel
Dalembert will be a game-time decision for Saturday's game
against the New Jersey Nets after spraining his left ankle in
Friday's 104-94 victory over the Washington Wizards.

Sixers coach Tony DiLeo said Elton Brand would start against the
Nets if Dalembert is unable to play.

X-Rays were negative for Dalembert, who sprained his ankle when
he landed awkwardly while battling for an offensive rebound with
1:54 left in the first half. He was helped back to the locker
room without putting any weight on his left leg and did not
return.

Playing just under 14 minutes, Dalembert was held scoreless
while only grabbing two rebounds.

He is averaging 5.7 rebounds and 8.4 rebounds this season.
