NBA: 76ers Brand out with hamstring injury

Associated Press

PHILADELPHIA — Philadelphia forward Elton Brand will miss Friday's game at Detroit with a strained right hamstring.

Brand had an MRI today and did not travel with the Sixers. He is listed as day-to-day.

Brand didn't play the final 17 minutes of the 76ers' 114-102 loss to the Lakers on Wednesday when he first complained of the injury. He was limited to three points on 1-for-7 shooting in 25 ineffective minutes.

Brand leads the Sixers with 16.7 points and 10 rebounds a game.
