The Philadelphia 76ers will return home on Tuesday to play host to the Chicago Bulls and look to get some revenge over the Bulls following a loss in Chicago on Saturday to end their four-game road trip.
The Sixers continue to be a bit short-handed. While Joel Embiid will return from a four-game absence due to a right ankle sprain, the Sixers will be without De’Anthony Melton for the matchup due to lumbar spine soreness.
The Sixers will also be without Robert Covington due to left knee effusion. Furkan Korkmaz is out due to an illness.
Robert Covington (left knee effusion) and Furkan Korkmaz (illness) are now listed as out for tonight’s matchup with the Bulls at home #Sixers

With Melton out, it would have been nice to be able to lean on Covington to provide more off the bench, but with the Sixers now missing some wing depth, they will have to rely on others to step up.
The tip from the Wells Fargo Center is 7 p.m. EST.
