Tonight is the night … maybe.

Ahead of their home game against the Charlotte Hornets (7 pa.m., NBCSP), it’s very possible the Sixers may also welcome the return of its All-Star center Joel Embiid.

Between a mix of injuries and a suspension, Embiid has missed a sizable portion of the Sixers’ 8-16 campaign. However, signs point to a return to the court, namely from the guy who’s had to take the majority of minutes in his absence.

“I’m sure Joel [Embiid] will be back tomorrow, too,” fellow Sixers big man Andre Drummond said after practice yesterday. " We should have full strength … and go from there.”

The team hasn’t officially announced Embiid’s return since he suffered a right sinus fracture but noted that he’s questionable ahead of tonight’s game. Drummond shared some insight that provided the optimism Sixers fans need right now, as consistency has not been a strong suit.

Still, it’s very much anyone’s guess.

“He looked fine in practice the past two days,” he said. “He’s a grown man, so whatever he decides to do is on him. I’m just saying he looks ready to play to me. So that’s why I said it.”

Whether he plays or not, at least we made it to the weekend, Philly.
