Via Liberty Ballers Via Philly Daily News:
Darius Songaila and Craig Brackins did not practice with the Sixers this morning in the first session of training camp because their trade from the New Orleans Hornets had not been officially completed.
The two big men were acquired for Willie Green and Jason Smith. The holdup was Green's physical with the Hornets, which raised red flags about a knee injury.
A source told the Daily News that the teams have since agreed to the option to exchange second-round picks in 2011, which cemented the trade.
Let's just say this doesn't make me any more fond of the trade. After the jump, a WG injury history.

Most of those seem minor injuries that the average player will incur over a 7 year career. The left knee surgery in 2006 and right knee problems of 2007 could be real issues though.
