The Philadelphia 76ers shut down Lou Williams
The Philadelphia 76ers have shut down reserve guard Lou Williams for the rest of the regular season to rest his hamstring for the playoffs. Williams played in 75 games (0 starts) for the Sixers this year and he averaged 23.3 minutes, 13.7 points, 2.0 rebounds and 3.4 assists per game. The Sixers will turn to rookie guard Evan Turner to pick up the pace the next two weeks. Turner has played in 73 games (13 starts) for the 76ers so far this year and he is averaging 22.6 minutes, 6.9 points, 3.9 rebounds and 2.0 assists per game. The Sixers have been disappointed with Turner so far this year, but this is a chance for him to redeem himself.
