The already undermanned Sixers won this game even though Paul George, who’s on a minutes restriction, sat out the entire extra session. But the Hornets challenged the call, and the official ruled that Ball made contact with the basketball instead of fouling McCain. So there was a jump ball that was won by the Hornets. Charlotte then called consecutive timeouts to set up plays. After the second one, the Hornets’ Seth Curry was called for a foul underneath the Hornets basket.
In addition to Embiid, the Sixers were also without All-Star point guard Tyrese Maxey, who’s dealing with a strained right hamstring.
