Joel Embiid to return for Sixers vs. Bulls after missing a game

Joel Embiid is back in the lineup for the Philadelphia 76ers as they take on the Chicago Bulls on Saturday.

The Philadelphia 76ers came up with a win over the Toronto Raptors on Friday thanks to the stellar play of Tyrese Maxey. The Sixers needed it considering Joel Enbiid was held out for the front half of a back-to-back.

The Sixers continue the road trip on Saturday against the Chicago Bulls. The Sixers showed a lot of grit on Friday and now welcome their star big man back into the starting lineup.

Coming off a big win, the Sixers look to build momentum against Chicago, which they swept the four game regular-season series against in the 2021-22 season.

Tipoff from the United Center is set for 8 p.m. EDT on the third game of this four-game road trip.
