PHILADELPHIA — The 76ers have listed Joel Embiid as questionable for Wednesday’s matchup against the Bulls as he works his way back from a left oblique strain. The All-Star center has not appeared since Feb. 26, when he logged 26 points, 11 rebounds and four assists in a win over Miami.
Embiid is averaging 26.6 points, 7.5 rebounds and 3.9 assists this season, and Philadelphia is 21-12 in the games he has played. Tony Jones of The Athletic reported that, barring a setback, Embiid is expected to suit up on Wednesday. His possible return coincides with Paul George becoming eligible to play after completing a 25-game suspension.
