LeBron James ruled out for 76ers game against Toronto, Digi Mart USA News (Philadelphia): Philadelphia 76ers star LeBron James will sit out Thursday night against Toronto because of low back and sciatica management.
Sixers center Joel Embiid was upgraded from questionable to available with right foot plantar fascia injury management.
James, who turns 42 next month, will now have four to five days off before he plays again. The Sixers are off Friday and Saturday and have back-to-back games Sunday and Monday.
James typically does not play in at least one game of a back-to-back set, so he could return Sunday against Indiana or Monday at Brooklyn.
James has averaged 15.1 points, 7.2 rebounds and 6.5 assists in 10 games for the Sixers this season.
The Raptors will play again without Kawhi Leonard (knee) and Scottie Barnes (groin).
In a separate incident in Philadelphia, a cargo ship struck the Tacony-Palmyra Bridge across the Delaware River on Thursday, disrupting traffic between Palmyra, New Jersey, and Philadelphia, according to Pennsylvania state Rep. Ed Neilson.
No injuries have been reported.
The collision left the 3,659-foot-long (1,115-meter-long) bridge unable to close, causing a major backup on the Philadelphia side. The U.S.
Coast Guard said the cargo vessel is moored at a Kinder Morgan facility in Bristol, Pennsylvania, where an inspection team is on site. The Coast Guard has not yet released information on the ship’s owner or operator.
The drawbridge was open for ships to pass through at the time of the collision around 1:15 p.m., according to the Coast Guard. The Burlington County Bridge Commission, which owns and maintains the bridge, has not been reached for comment, and a recorded message said the bridge is closed to vehicular and pedestrian traffic until further notice.
