Sixers host Bulls seeking fourth straight win

Things are looking up again in Philadelphia. The Sixers are three games out of first place in the Eastern Conference, winners of three straight and 11 out of their last 13 contests. Tyrese Maxey is back on the court and the team is healthy with the glaring exception of Joel Embiid, who will miss his second straight game tonight with left foot soreness. However, all the buzz is that this his sitting out is merely precautionary so don’t fret, Sixers fans. Take a deep breath. Everything will be A-OK. (I reserve the right to panic later if it turns out we got bamboozled by another vague injury situation.
