CAMDEN, N.J. -- The Philadelphia 76ers got back to work at practice on Thursday as they continued preparation for the Charlotte Hornets on Friday at home. The Sixers are looking to sweep the season series from the Hornets on the season.
Philadelphia could be getting superstar big man Joel Embiid back sooner rather than later. After suffering a sinus fracture in a Dec. 13 loss to the Indiana Pacers, the Sixers announced on Dec. 16 that he would be re-evaluated in a week. However, the big fella is progressing much faster than originally expected and he was at practice on Thursday.
