Updating The Update: Josh Starts In Philly

  There is still no official injury update as it relates to Mavs-at-Sixers, but courtside spies tell DB.com that at this precise moment 11:12 a.m. Philly time, less than two hours before tipoff, Dallas’ Josh Howard has not been on the floor working out but that Philadelphia’s Elton Brand is doing so.

  Howard (wrist) has missed four straight; Brand has missed 15 games with a separated shoulder.

UPDATE: J-Ho -- somewhat to the surprise of the assembled media in part because Howard was not especially active earlier in the day -- is in the starting lineup.
