As the Philadelphia 76ers take on the Charlotte Hornets on the second night of a back-to-back on Saturday, they will be without the services of Joel Embiid and LeBron James after both stars played on Friday in the win over the New York Knicks.
However, they will welcome Jaylen Brown back to the lineup after the 5-time All-Star missed Friday's win over the Knicks. He was originally listed as questionable against the Hornets due to left patellar tendinopathy, but after going through his warm ups and such, the Sixers say Brown will be available for this contest.
As for the other questionable players, Jabari Walker and Tacko Fall are also available. There is the frontcourt depth that Philadelphia has been looking for.

With Brown, Walker, and Fall set to return, it allows the Sixers to have some much-needed depth in order to battle a feisty Hornets team. Tip off from the Spectrum Center is set for 6 p.m. EDT.
