Sixers' Dalembert sprains ankle

Sixers center Samuel Dalembert sprained his left ankle in the second quarter against Washington last night and did not return. X-Rays were negative and Dalembert will be reevaluated before today's game. An MRI is not scheduled.

"Missing Sam hurt us. The shot blocking, the defensive presence. They got a lot of stuff around the basket in the second half. We have to tighten that up," Sixers coach Tony Dileo said.

Elton Brand will likely get the start at center tonight.
