Overview
- The 76ers listed Joel Embiid as probable for Sunday’s game at Chicago with right-foot plantar fascia injury management, per the team’s official injury report.
- Backup center Adem Bona was ruled out with a cervical spine sprain sustained earlier in the road trip and will not play against the Bulls.
- Starter-turned-backup Dominick Barlow remains out with a low-back stress reaction but has progressed to on-court work and is expected to return in a matter of weeks.
- Chicago’s interior availability is uncertain, with Jalen Smith probable, Nic Claxton questionable to make his season debut, and Zach Collins and Dailyn Swain listed out.
- With Embiid under load-management because the foot issue dates to last season, the Sixers may ask him and wing scorers to carry heavier minutes while role players absorb backup center duties over the next weeks.
