Sixers' Young out tonight vs. Celtics
Bob Cooney
Thaddeus Young is sick and will not play tonight against Boston, coach Doug Collins told reporters before the game.
Tony Battie will get the start, with Nik Vucevic coming off the bench to give the Sixers some spark. Vucevick was initially slated to start his second consecutive game.
Battie will be making his 10th start of the season.

Turner is playing like a #1 pick tonight. 26 points and 8 rebounds thru 3 quarters. Igudalia has 10 points at forward. Shame young is out. Please send AI out for a real forward. garcia7

Turner had his best game as a pro tonight, so congratulations.
now, lets see if he can keep it going.
I agree, AI needs to go in the off season. There is no doubt, he is hurting Turner's development.
AI's game reminds me of Shawn Marion. sdeens
