Batum (knee) will play in Friday's game against the 76ers, Hornets radio play-by-play announcer Steven Martin reports.

EDGE Analysis

Batum was listed as probable coming into Friday's game, so him being active comes as no surprise, and it looks like he has made a full recovery from a hyper-extended right knee. Expect Batum to be a full go in the starting lineup Friday and play a heavy dose of minutes against Philadelphia.
