Elton Brand

76ers coach Eddie Jor­dan made the move he had been threat­en­ing to make for more than a month: He moved power for­ward Elton Brand to the bench.

Last night against the Golden State War­riors, Jor­dan started a lineup of vet­eran Allen Iver­son, rookie Jrue Hol­i­day, Andre Iguo­dala, Thad­deus Young, and Samuel Dalembert.
