Joel Embiid is set to return to the Philadelphia 76ers lineup for their game against the Charlotte Hornets after recovering from a sinus fracture sustained last week. The injury occurred during a match against the Indiana Pacers when he was accidentally struck in the face.

Despite the injury, Embiid's absence was minimal, missing only one game due to a favorable schedule. This matchup marks a rare occasion where Embiid, Paul George, and Tyrese Maxey will play together, having previously gone 1-2 in their earlier games as a trio.
