The Philadelphia 76ers continue their tour of sub-.500 teams with a trip to Charlotte on Saturday to face the 7-16 Hornets.
This will be a homecoming of sorts for Kelly Oubre Jr., who played the past two seasons with the Hornets. Oubre averaged 20.3 points and started 40 games for the Hornets last season before coming to the Sixers in the offseason.
The Hornets this season are typically led by LaMelo Ball, but Ball has been out since Nov. 26 when he suffered an ankle injury. Charlotte has gone 2-6 without their leading guard who is averaging 24.
