76ers' Carl Landry: Out Friday night

Landry has been ruled out of Friday's tilt with the Knicks due to soreness in his back, Jessica Camerato of CSNPhilly.com reports.

The veteran big man will get the night off after he turned in one of his best performances of the season on Tuesday night. He led the team with 22 points (9-10 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 2-3 FT) alongside nine rebounds and two steals during just 26 minutes. Nerlens Noel will grab the start in his absence on Friday. His next chance to take the court will come on Saturday when the 76ers take on the Bucks.
