Joel Embiid Returns to 76ers Lineup

Joel Embiid is set to return to the Philadelphia 76ers' starting lineup against the Chicago Bulls after missing the last seven games due to a left knee injury. The 2023 MVP has only played in four games this season, averaging 19.8 points and 7.5 rebounds, but has struggled with a shooting percentage of 37.9%. Embiid will face a minutes restriction as he continues to manage the knee issue, which has plagued him since meniscus surgery last February. The Sixers have shown improvement in Embiid's absence, winning three of their last four games and are eager to build on their recent momentum. This matchup will mark only the second time this season that Embiid, Tyrese Maxey, and Paul George are on the floor together. The game is set to tip off at 1 p.m. EST at the United Center.
