All the news in Philadelphia Monday has been off the court.
That includes with the visiting San Antonio Spurs.
Going up against the team with the worst record in the league, a couple of key Spurs would sit out, the team announced.
UPDATED INJURY REPORT - Tim Duncan (rest) and Kawhi Leonard (gastroenteritis) are both out for tonight's Spurs-76ers game.

Matt Bonner indeed starting for Spurs.

This was not a back-to-back situation, but the Spurs are off until Wednesday (and a much tougher test with the Raptors), so Pop got a star a rest and didn’t push his other star. Somehow I doubt it costs them in the end (although credit the Sixers with the fact they play hard every game).
