The full injury report for Wednesday's game between the Philadelphia 76ers and Chicago Bulls.
The Philadelphia 76ers (39-33) are taking on the Chicago Bulls (29-42) on Wednesday night at 7 PM ET.
Philadelphia is coming off an expected loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder, but prior to that, it had won two consecutive games. Those victories came against the Sacramento Kings and Utah Jazz.
Meanwhile, the Bulls have fallen short in four of their last six matchups, with defeats coming against the Los Angeles Lakers, Los Angeles Clippers, Toronto Raptors, and Cleveland Cavaliers. Their only wins in that stretch came over the Memphis Grizzlies and Houston Rockets.
Here is the injury report for 76ers-Bulls:
76ERS
Johni Broome: Out - Right Knee; Surgery Recovery
Joel Embiid: Questionable - Right Oblique; Strain

There is a lot of positive news for the Sixers, which is rather unusual for the way things have been trending in recent weeks. Not only is Paul George returning to action after his 25-game suspension, but Embiid is also upgraded to questionable.
The superstar center has missed the last 13 games due to a right oblique strain.
It is a bit worrying to see Grimes on the injury report once again, as the 25-year-old has thrived with Philadelphia's stars absent. He missed Monday's game against the Thunder due to an illness.
The Bulls are missing some rotational pieces, but the majority of their lineup is healthy, including Josh Giddey and Matas Buzelis. The star duo is averaging a combined 33.7 points.
