The Charlotte Hornets are eager to field their full starting lineup for the first time this season as they prepare to face the Philadelphia 76ers. LaMelo Ball, who has been sidelined with a calf strain, is questionable for the game following a shootaround.

Ball was performing at an All-Star caliber before his injury, and his return is crucial for the Hornets, who have struggled in his absence. The team is currently in 13th place in the Eastern Conference and needs all players healthy to improve their playoff chances.
