23-year old center Spencer Hawes will be out until just after the All-Star Break due to his Achilles problem.  He has played in 14 games (all starts) for the Sixers so far this year and he is averaging 27.6 minutes, 10.5 points, 8.3 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.5 blocked shots per game.  Rookies Lavoy Allen and Sasha Vucevic will continue to play a lot of minutes until Hawes is ready to return to action and they have done a decent job so far this year.
