LAS VEGAS -- The Sixers' 95-93 victory Saturday over the Warriors on a Larry Drew II go-ahead basket was overshadowed Markelle Fultz’s departure (see story).
Fultz suffered a left ankle sprain in the third quarter after he stepped on the back of Jabari Brown’s foot as he attempted to block Brown’s shot. Fultz was helped off the court by teammates without putting pressure on his foot.
Fultz had scored eight points (3 for 12 from the field) with two rebounds, two turnovers and an assist in 15 minutes.
Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot also suffered an upper lip laceration on the same play. He required stitches and did not return either.
Inside the box score
Jonah Bolden had a double-double off the bench in 23 minutes, scoring 11 points on 5 of 7 shooting while corraling 10 rebounds.

Aaron Harrison had 13 points and four rebounds. Alex Poythress added 12 points, including two threes, while turning the ball over five times.
