"Philadelphia 76ers guard Aaron McKie was activated from the injured list prior to Friday afternoon's contest against the Washington Wizards.

McKie had been sidelined with a shoulder injury suffered against the New Jersey Nets on November 10. He strained his left rotator cuff while making a pass during the third quarter of Philadelphia's overtime win.

In five games this season, including three starts, McKie is averaging 1.0 points, 2.2 assists and 1.6 rebounds per outing. The Temple product was drafted by Portland with the 17th overall pick in the 1994 NBA Draft.

To make room on the roster for McKie, the 76ers placed guard Kevin Ollie on the injured list with a lower back strain. Ollie, who was traded to the Sixers along with Kedrick Brown by Cleveland for Eric Snow over the summer, has averaged 0.7 points and 0.3 rebounds in three games this season."
