Joel Embiid available for Sixers-Bulls

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid has been upgraded to available for Monday's matchup against the Chicago Bulls. Embiid was initially listed as questionable due to plantar fasciitis management. Head coach Nick Nurse explained pregame that the condition is painful and unpredictable, noting the team is working to manage the discomfort appropriately.

Philadelphia enters the game with a 6-1 record and a largely healthy roster, with only Dominick Barlow and Ariel Hukporti remaining on the injury report. The Bulls remain without starting center Nic Claxton, who was officially ruled out due to an ongoing hamstring injury suffered during training camp.
