Having lost two games in a row against the Pistons and Wizards, the Charlotte Hornets are eager to get back in the win column Saturday against the Philadelphia 76ers. In six games to begin the year, Charlotte is 3-3, tied for sixth place in the Eastern Conference. Philadelphia enters the contest 5-1 on the second night of a back-to-back, coming off of a victory against the New York Knicks.
Thus far, Charlotte has been playing without key contributors Coby White, Kon Knueppel and Grant Williams, who each have yet to make their season debuts. While Knueppel recently practiced with the Greensboro Swarm, it’s uncertain whether or not the former Duke Blue Devil can suit up for Saturday’s contest. Considering the Hornets are on the second night of a back-to-back as well, they and the 76ers will have until Saturday afternoon to release their injury report.
