Since joining the Sixers at February’s trade deadline, Isaiah Canaan has played the best basketball of his two-year career. But on Tuesday, head coach Brett Brown confirmed that a right foot sprain will cause the 6’0” point guard to miss the remaining four games of the 2014-15 season.

“Realistically, with seven days left, and four games left, it’s not enough time,” said Brown before shifting his focus to Canaan’s future. “He can shoot, and when you start saying, ‘Okay, now you have Joel Embiid’, you better get some shooters around that player. And maybe he’ll be one of them.”

Canaan has missed the Sixers' last two contests after suffering the injury landing awkwardly while attempting a three-pointer against the Washington Wizards on April 1. In 22 games with Philadelphia, he averaged 12.6 points (37.7 FG%, 36.4 3P%), 3.1 assists, and 2.5 rebounds in 25.9 minutes per game. The 23-year-old is under contract with the team for next season on a partially guaranteed deal.
