The loss of Green, who is averaging 9.0 points on 40% shooting from 3-point range this postseason, further compromises a Philadelphia team on the verge of elimination at the hands of first-place Miami. The 76ers tied their Eastern Conference semifinal series with the Heat at 2-2 before suffering a 35-point loss in Game 5 on Tuesday.

The 76ers are trying to advance to the conference finals for the first time since 2001.
