Embiid Probable for Sixers’ Sunday Game Against Bulls

On November 8, the Philadelphia 76ers are scheduled to face the Chicago Bulls in Chicago. Joel Embiid is listed as probable as he manages a plantar fascia injury in his right foot. Adem Bona, dealing with a cervical spine sprain, and Dominick Barlow, who has a back injury, are out for Philadelphia.

If Embiid plays and Tyrese Maxey, VJ Edgecombe, Jaylen Brown and LeBron James are not ruled out, Philadelphia would have all five starters available for the seventh time in 11 games this season.

Bona missed the entire preseason with a foot sprain and had struggled early in his third NBA season. He turned in his strongest performance of the season during Wednesday’s win in Detroit, but injured his neck during the game and missed Friday’s matchup in Cleveland. Barlow has been sidelined for more than a month. He has started on-court work, and the team hopes he can return within weeks.

Chicago’s starting center, Jalen Smith, is likely to play. Nic Claxton, a newcomer, is questionable for his first appearance of the season. Zach Collins and Dailyn Swain are out.
