Webber remained in the team's hotel last night during the game as he battled flu-like symptoms and a foot injury. He joined the team in time to ride the bus to the airport for the charter flight back to Philadelphia. This was the ninth game in the last 12 in which he was unavailable, in part because of right foot and ankle problems. He has a $20,718,750 salary this season and is due $22,312,500 next season. This could be Larry Brown's first order of business now that he's back in Philly.
