Sixers stats guru Pollack recovering after crash

Harvey Pollack, the Sixers' director of statistical information and a dedicated follower of the Flyers and Big Five basketball, was in critical but stable condition Friday after being involved in one-car accident Thursday evening in Center City.

He suffered a broken hip, pelvis, and jaw, plus broken ribs, in addition to having facial lacerations.

The 92-year-old had hip surgery scheduled for Friday afternoon at Hahnemann University Hospital and will have more procedures.

Pollack is the only person still working for the NBA since its inaugural season, 1946-47.
