A shootout loss, the return of Danny, JVR update, more on Oswalt, an update on Hawes and Brand, plus the college hoops schedule and more!

Flyers

Ilya Bryzgalov stopped all 18 shots he faced prior to a shootout, but suffered a 1-0 loss at the hands of the Islanders. Daniel Briere, who was day-to-day with a concussion, was able to play on Tuesday night against the Islanders. Also, James van Riemsdyk is feeling better, concussion symptoms being as they are make it difficult to pinpoint a return to action for him at this time.

Next: Tomorrow vs Toronto Maple Leafs

Sixers

Head coach Doug Collins said that the Sixers "might be without Spencer Hawes and Elton Brand" tonight against the Spurs. Brand is dealing with a thumb injury, so the fact he might miss the game isn't a surprise. Spencer Hawes is listed as doubtful for tonight's game and is going to get an MRI. Hawes is looking to see if his back issue is related to his Achilles problem.
