Nerlens Noel will miss Wednesday's game against the Nuggets.
Head coach Brett Brown said the Sixers' center was a game-time decision with a right knee contusion, but the decision was made to keep Noel on the sidelines in Denver.
Noel's absence comes as Robert Covington (concussion) and Rashaun Holmes (Achilles) return to the court, six games after the duo suffered injuries in a win over the Nets on Mar. 11 (see full story).
While Covington and Holmes missed six straight contests, Noel has played in eight straight after a two-game absence in early March. Noel is averaging 11.1 points, 8.0 rebounds and 1.5 blocks per game this season.
