Maybe all it takes for Richaun Holmes to receive significant playing time was a trip to London and a stomach flu.
Sixers reserve center Amir Johnson was declared out for Thursday's 3 p.m. game against the Boston Celtics in London due to gastroenteritis, which has kept Johnson out of practice since Wednesday.
The 12-year-pro signed with the Sixers before the season on a 1-year, $11 million deal after spending two seasons with the Celtics. Johnson has added some value as a defensive big man off the bench, playing in relief of star center Joel Embiid.
