The 76ers may not have Chris Webber for either of those games. Webber returned to practice Monday after missing nine of the last 12 games with foot and ankle injuries. But Webber, who has been unhappy with his role and the losing, said after practice he would not play against the Pistons, and didn't know if he'd ever play for the 76ers again.
When asked if the team was trying to buy out his contract, Webber said, "I've been talking to them for a long time," indicating he might soon be finished in Philly.
Cheeks said Webber has been a complete professional, but understood why the 36-year-old forward wanted to end his career with a winner.
If he were to go, that would be two All-Stars off the roster in a matter of weeks. Brown and Iverson had a contentious relationship, but the two worked together. Brown said he would have been comfortable returning to the 76ers even if Iverson had not been traded last month.
