Embiid questionable as Sixers visit struggling Hornets

The Philadelphia 76ers continue their road trip as they try to extend their win streak to six on Saturday night against the Charlotte Hornets.

Sixers star center Joel Embiid has been listed as questionable for the contest for injury recovery as of Saturday afternoon.

This is the second leg of a back-to-back for the Sixers, which is probably a factor in the questionable status for Embiid. Philadelphia defeated the Orlando Magic last night with Embiid and Tyrese Maxey combining for 68 points in the victory. That being said, Embiid was able to rest the entirety of the fourth with the Sixers holding a comfortable lead, taking some of the sting out of the back-to-back scheduling.
