Update: Despite being limited in practice on Thursday, Dalembert (back) said he will play in Friday’s game against the Hornets, the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Recommendation: Dalembert said he would probably sit out if the team had a better record, but he’ll play tonight. His minutes may be limited, but there’s little question as to whether or not he’ll start. Dalembert hasn’t missed a game since the 2005-06 season. “I have to play [tonight]; I don’t have the luxury,” Dalembert said. “If we were 40-10, I would have the luxury to sit down, but not at this point.”
