What happened

Philadelphia lists Joel Embiid probable for Sunday’s matinee, while Adem Bona is out for a second straight game and Dominick Barlow remains sidelined.

Chicago enters on a six-game losing streak, and its center rotation is uncertain with Nic Claxton questionable, Jalen Smith probable, and Zach Collins out.

LINEUP CONTEXT

If Embiid plays, Philadelphia may again lean on its starters, but Chicago’s center availability remains unclear before tipoff.
