Philadelphia 76ers get positive injury updates on two key contributors

The Philadelphia 76ers got a couple of star players back when Joel Embiid and Paul George returned to the active lineup on Wednesday night, and another pair of key contributors could be right behind him.

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.

This story will be updated.
