Stephenson is dealing with left knee tendinitis, making him questionable for Saturday's game in Philadelphia.

Analysis:

While his shooting percentages are still hideous, Stephenson has handled a significant role off the Charlotte bench since returning from a pelvis injury in mid-January. With the team lacking playmakers in Kemba Walker's absence, Stephenson continues to get 20-to-30 minutes per game, and he's looked a bit better over the last few contests. If he can't play Sunday, the Hornets will likely use some combination of Gary Neal, Michael Kidd-Gilchrist and P.J. Hairston to fill the minutes.
