Philadelphia 76ers vs Charlotte Hornets Preview
The 76ers start off this four-game in six-night week on a back-to-back, which means we'll undoubtedly see absences. As of Sunday night, the exact ones have yet to be determined.
Philly is coming off a tough loss to the Knicks at home on Saturday night, and now it has dropped five out of its last eight.
The Hornets have actually won five-of-eight heading into today's game, and have put together a two-game winning streak for the first time since the opening week of 2026.
Charlotte will also have a four-game in six-night stretch, but its back-to-back is mid-week.
The Hornets are looming for a Play-In spot, just 3.5 games behind the Hawks.
With the start time moved up in Charlotte due to pending inclement weather, we'll have early injury updates on Monday, so monitor that.
As of late Sunday night, the 76ers declared Joel Embiid (knee) and Paul George (knee) out.
The Hornets have Collin Sexton (hamstring) listed as probable, with Mason Plumlee (groin) and KJ Simpson (hip) listed out.
