Sixers Starting shooting guard Jason Richardson will miss Wednesday's game in Memphis due to a lower back strain.  Doug Collins announced at the team's shoot around today that Dorell Wright will start in his absence. Both Wright and swing man Nick Young will see more time on this 11-game day road-trip if Richardson misses substantial time, which is not expected...

Jrue Holiday is a game-time decision for tonight's game against the Hawks, while Evan Turner said that he intends to play - both said they will play after practice today.
