NBA announces time change for Sixers vs. Hornets amid winter storm

Jan. 25, 2026, 4:55 p.m. ET

The Philadelphia 76ers are currently in Buzz City as they get set to take on the Charlotte Hornets on Monday looking to bounce back from a loss to the New York Knicks. The Sixers also had a 2-4 homestand where they could have won another two or three of those games. They will look to bounce back against a pesky Hornets team.

As the Sixers prepare to take on Charlotte, there is Mother Nature to take into account as well. There has been a winter storm that has raged over the Eastern part of the United States with a ton of snow and ice and in order to give the Sixers a better chance of getting home on Monday to take on the Milwaukee Bucks at home on Tuesday, the NBA has announced that they will change the start time from 7 p.m. EST to 3 p.m. EST on Monday afternoon.

The Hornets will offer the Sixers a chance to move forward to get back in the win column.
