As the Philadelphia 76ers prepare for their road trip finale on Saturday with a contest with the Chicago Bulls, they learned a bench piece will return from an illness, but they will lose another.
KJ Martin, who was unavailable for Friday’s win over the Houston Rockets due to an illness, will be available for the Sixers on Saturday. He’s averaging 1.4 points and 0.8 rebounds as a member of the Sixers.
While Martin will return, Jaden Springer will be out. He is also dealing with an illness. He’s averaging 3.2 points and 1.4 rebounds in his third season out of Tennessee.
Jaden Springer (illness) is out. KJ Martin (illness) will play.

The Sixers can finish 3-1 on the road trip if they win Saturday. They have played this trip without Joel Embiid (right ankle sprain), but the Sixers have received big contributions from just about everybody.
The tip from the United Center is set for 8 p.m. EST on Saturday.
