  "account": "LeBron James and Joel Embiid will both miss Saturday's game against the Charlotte Hornets, according to reports from the Philadelphia Inquirer. James is dealing with back management while Embiid has foot management. Forward Jaylen Brown is questionable with left knee soreness, and Tacko Fall, Jabari Walker, and Dominick Barlow are also listed as questionable, with Barlow out. This marks the second time this season that both stars have been rested for the same game on the second night of a back-to-back. Head coach Nick Nurse has been cautious with their workload throughout the season, pairing their rest days strategically on tougher half of back-to-back games. Both James and Embiid are expected to return to the lineup for the team's next game against the Indiana Pacers on Wednesday.",
