The Philadelphia 76ers are gearing up for a rematch against the Charlotte Hornets on Friday, having secured a decisive victory in their previous encounter. However, the 76ers will be without one of their starters due to injury, continuing their struggle with a shorthanded roster.

Tyrese Maxey and Paul George are expected to step up once again, while the Hornets will also be missing Caleb Martin, who is sidelined with a shoulder injury. This will mark his third consecutive game out, impacting his early season performance.
