Jaylen Brown has played in Philadelphia’s October 31 game at the Charlotte Hornets, according to the NBA’s official box score. That answers the availability question after he missed Friday’s Knicks game. The fixture at Spectrum Center was scheduled for 6 pmEDT on Saturday, equivalent to 22:00 GMT in Britain.

The Sixers’ morning preview said Brown had missed the previous night with left patellar tendinopathy, but left the new injury report to be determined because this was the second half of a back-to-back. The live game record now contains his playing time. That is evidence of participation, without establishing a medical recovery assessment or a promise about his workload.

Brown missed Friday’s Knicks game but has playing time recorded against Charlotte on Saturday. The scheduled start was October 31 at 6 p.m. EDT, or 22:00 GMT. No final score is shown.
Friday’s absence and Saturday’s official participation record are separate observations. The scheduled start was 6 p.m. EDT, the same instant as 22:00 GMT on October 31.

US outlets and the separate UK viewing context

For US television, Philadelphia’s official preview lists NBA TV and NBC Sports Philadelphia. Its radio routes are 97.5 The Fanatic and the 76 ers mobile app. Those are the team’s published outlets for this particular fixture, rather than an assumption that every streaming subscription includes the game.

For Britain, the scheduled start converts to 22:00 GMT on October 31: Eastern Daylight Time is four hours behind GMT on that date. NBA League Pass is an official streaming route in supported countries; the NBA’s global availability policy does not exclude the UK. That policy is general access information, not an independently tested UK playback session or a confirmed listing on a separate British TV channel.

Why Brown’s participation matters

The same League Pass policy says local blackout restrictions may apply in the US and Canada, so the UK route should not be treated as a substitute for the listed US broadcasts everywhere. The official game page’s Watch option links the fixture to viewing information, and League Pass has its own official access page. Neither link establishes free viewing or a current subscription price.

Philadelphia entered the game 5–1 after beating New York 98–93 on Friday. The team’s preview credits Tyrese Maxey with 27 points and Anfernee Simons with 21 off the bench in that win. Both the recent result and Brown’s absence formed the background to the next-night selection question; his appearance in Charlotte provides a firmer answer than the morning preview alone.

Charlotte’s background and the current record

Charlotte entered 3–3 after a 95–79 loss to Washington and was also playing on consecutive nights. The Sixers’ preview said Kon Knueppel and Coby White had not yet made their season debuts while dealing with hamstring and calf injuries respectively. Those statements describe the pre-game context and do not establish Charlotte’s final rotation or the outcome of this game.

For viewers following this meeting, Brown’s participation is confirmed and the published US outlets identify where the fixture was carried. British readers have the separate 22:00 GMT start and the NBA’s general League Pass route. The game record remains the source for the eventual score and final statistics; no final result is inferred here from an in-progress box score.

Sources & context

Participation is from the official live box score; injury background and US outlets are from the dated team preview. UK access follows the general NBA policy, without a local playback test. No final score is reported.
