76ers center Spencer Hawes is more likely to return before sixth man Tony Wroten does, Sixers coach Brett Brown said.

Both players missed Saturday’s 106-98 loss at Indiana. Hawes, pictured, left, was with the team, though he did not dress due to left knee soreness. Wroten, who did not travel, sat out his second straight game with a lower back strain.

As for a projected return date for either of them, however…

“I don’t really know,” Brown said. “I think Spencer is probably going to be sooner than Tony.

“I only learned right before the game that it would be in (Hawes’) best interest to sit and obviously we’ll follow the wishes of the doctor, and off we go.”

The Sixers (6-9), who had the day off Sunday, next play Wednesday in Orlando against the Magic (4-8).
