Lauren Rosen @LaurenMRosen
Math was never my strong suit…
But there might be more @Philadelphia 76ers fans than Hornets fans in the building in Charlotte tonight.
And if my math isn’t mathing… they’re deffffinitely louder. 😁 – 6:54 PM

We’ll be talking a lot of Jaylen Brown’s post-All-Star run on the telecast tonight.
But if it seems like he’s been locked in, making a lot of shots…here’s why.

Draymond Green
James Harden

It’s the most triple-doubles recorded in a single day in NBA history.

I remember when MJ first took over in Charlotte and had those early difficulties. I reminded people that Charlotte was the Chernobyl of the NBA with what owner George Shinn had done before leaving town. It would take time, I said. Well, that team’s gobbled time like a black hole. – 3:04 PM

Jalen McDaniels following shootaround in Charlotte, where he had some clear discomfort while going through extra work with PD coaches. He doesn’t expect to play tonight against his former team.

#Sixers forward Jalen McDaniels said he will miss his second consecutive game with a bruised right hip. McDaniels has made improvements in this drill, but the injury has noticeable impacted his physicality in a one-on-one drill. #CharlotteHornets pic.twitter.com/CfVDuFsnuI – 2:27 PM
