Looks like Illa Del will head back out to the race track, "Run, Run, Run".
76ers lose Brand for a month with shoulder injury
Philadelphia 76ers forward Elton Brand will be sidelined for a month because of a dislocated shoulder.
Team officials said Brand has a fracture and tear in his right shoulder, but will not need surgery. Brand was hurt Wednesday night in a win over Milwaukee.
"It's unfortunate that this happened, but we're starting rehab right away and I'm going to do everything I can to get back as soon as possible," Brand said in a statement released by the team Thursday.
"While I'm disappointed that I can't be on the court, during this time I'm going to continue to support my teammates and the coaches in any way they need me."
Brand is averaging 15.9 points and 9.8 rebounds this season. He signed a five-year, $80 million free agent contract with the 76ers in July.
A playoff team last season, the 76ers struggled to a 9-14 start before firing coach Maurice Cheeks last week. They are 2-0 under interim coach Tony DiLeo.

The Sixers will be all the better for it.
They'll probably try to offload brand before the all star break. Dude has no chemistry with this team whatsoever.
He definetly looks like a square amongst a team of rectangles, it would be hard to move him at this point.
Charlotte would probably field calls though, as rumors have them seeking a true big.
