LeBron James injury update: 76ers star to miss 2nd game vs Hornets

LeBron James and Joel Embiid will both miss the Philadelphia 76ers' game against the Charlotte Hornets on Saturday. James is officially listed out for back management, while Embiid sits due to foot management. The decision comes on the second night of a back-to-back following Philadelphia's 98-93 victory over the New York Knicks on Friday, where James recorded 20 points, nine rebounds, and eight assists.

Head coach Nick Nurse continues to manage the workloads of his veteran stars early in the regular season. Forward Jaylen Brown, Tacko Fall, and Jabari Walker are listed as questionable, while Dominick Barlow is ruled out. Both James and Embiid are expected to return to the Philadelphia lineup on Wednesday against the Detroit Pistons.
