IT WAS JUST a throwaway line by 76ers coach Brett Brown, but it spoke volumes of his tenure here: "We have the unfortunate experience of being quite practiced on how to deal with injuries."
It might be what the organization has done best, simply because it's what it has done most. And now the Sixers are at it again.
Brown revealed after yesterday's practice that shooting guard Nik Stauskas will be out for a couple of weeks with a stress reaction in his right tibia. The injury didn't occur at any specific time, according to the team; rather, it started with soreness during Thursday's practice at Stockton University.
