The Philadelphia 76ers will open play after the Christmas break with a 5-game road trip beginning on Friday when they take on the Chicago Bulls. The Sixers will be looking to get back in the win column following a loss to the Brooklyn Nets at home on Tuesday.
As far as the injury report is concerned, the Sixers will be without Kelly Oubre Jr. (left knee sprain) and Trendon Watford (left adductor strain). Both players are continuing to work through their individualized workouts to work toward a return to the floor.

As for Joel Embiid (right knee injury management), the big fella is questionable against the Bulls. He was able to play against the Nets, but he had a scare in the third quarter when he briefly left after grabbing at the knee.
VJ Edgecombe, Quentin Grimes, and Dominick Barlow are all listed as questionable due to an illness. They all missed Tuesday’s loss to the Nets.
The Sixers and the Bulls will tip off at 7:30 p.m. EST on Friday from the United Center.
