Tyrese Maxey and Kelly Oubre are both listed as “questionable” on the official injury report for Philadelphia’s matchup with the Hornets in Charlotte on Saturday night.
Maxey has missed 10 straight games for the Sixers due to a tendon injury in his right pinky, while Oubre has missed eight in a row due to a left elbow sprain.
The final status of both players will be updated prior to tipoff in Charlotte, though Oubre already made it clear that he plans to play.
"So, I don't know if I'm breaking news or not, but I don't care," Oubre said on Friday. "Yeah, I'm playing basketball tomorrow, so I'm excited. We got a good thing going here, and I'm just trying to help push this momentum forward into the postseason."
