The Philadelphia 76ers will take on the Charlotte Hornets on Saturday on the second night of a back-to-back following an emotional win over the New York Knicks on Friday to open NBA Cup play. As the Sixers move on to the Hornets in a quick turnaround, they are looking to keep the good play rolling as they head into another contest on the schedule.

As far as the injury report is concerned, Joel Embiid (right foot plantar fasciitis management) and LeBron James (low back/sciatica management) are both out against the Hornets. They both played in Friday's win over the Knicks and it makes sense to sit them in this matchup in order to manage them for the season.

Jaylen Brown (left patellar tendinopathy) is listed as questionable. He missed Friday's win with the injury.

Jabari Walker (left patellar tendinopathy) and Tacko Fall (left quadriceps strain) are listed as questionable.

Dominick Barlow (low back stress reaction) and, obviously, Ariel Hukporti (right Achilles tear) remain out.

The Sixers and the Hornets will tip off at 6 p.m. EDT from the Spectrum Center in Charlotte.
