ORLANDO, Fla., Dec. 9 (UPI) -- Dwight Howard had 28 points and 12 rebounds Saturday as the Orlando Magic posted 86-84 win over the Philadelphia 76ers, who played without Allen Iverson.

Iverson, who was sent home prior to Friday's loss to Washington, will be traded from the Sixers, said team Chairman Ed Snider. Iverson's 31.2 points per game were second-best in the NBA entering Saturday's play.

Grant Hill scored 23 points for the Magic. Trevor Ariza added 13 points off the bench.

Chris Webber had 19 points, 11 rebounds and eight assists for the 76ers, who have lost seven straight and 11 of their last 12 games. Andre Iguodala also had 19 points and Kyle Korver added 16 for Philadelphia.

Orlando won despite missing all nine of its three-point attempts.
