What happened

Joel Embiid was listed questionable with right-foot plantar fascia injury management, but he played Monday and logged 15 points in Philadelphia's 126-107 win over Chicago.

Nick Nurse said Dominick Barlow will see a specialist Tuesday for the back injury that has sidelined him, with Philadelphia starting a three-game trip Wednesday.

LINEUP CONTEXT

Embiid's status still needs monitoring on back-to-back sets, while Barlow's specialist visit could keep the frontcourt rotation fluid on the road trip.
