The Philadelphia 76ers are set to clash with the Chicago Bulls on Monday, but questions loom over the availability of their star center, Joel Embiid. The Sixers’ season has been rocky, largely due to injuries to key players. Embiid’s absence was the most impactful. Now sitting as the 12th seed in the Eastern Conference with a 20-36 record, every game is vital for Philadelphia’s hopes of staging a late-season comeback.

Joel Embiid’s name appears once again on the Sixers’ injury report. He is listed as questionable due to knee injury management. Embiid has only played 19 of 56 games this season. In those games, he has averaged 23.8 points, 8.2 rebounds, and 4.5 assists.

Meanwhile, Tyrese Maxey’s status, however, also adds uncertainty. He is listed as questionable with a right finger sprain. Maxey has been a major contributor this season, often carrying the scoring load during Embiid’s absence.

The injury report doesn’t end there. Justin Edwards remains out with a left ankle sprain, while veteran guards Eric Gordon and Kyle Lowry are also sidelined, dealing with right wrist and right hip injuries, respectively. Additionally, Jared McCain is ruled out following left knee surgery.
