The Sixers will be without the services of second round picks K.J. McDaniels and Jordan McRae. McDaniels has been plagued by a sprained ankle since the Orlando Pro Summer League. McDaniels, who went off for 21 points in the team's last game, was taken out of the game following what appeared to be a lower leg injury.

No official word has been given on whether or not Nerlens Noel will take the court on Wednesday night. He sat out on Tuesday night for the Sixers as the team has monitored his play in back-to-back games.

UPDATE: Nerlens Noel will also be sitting out the Sixers game against the Lakers.
