Joel Embiid returned from a seven-game absence to provide 31 points and 12 rebounds as the Philadelphia 76ers held off the host Chicago Bulls for a 108-100 win on Sunday afternoon. Embiid carried Philadelphia to its fourth win in five games after sitting out to manage a left knee injury.

This was one of the most encouraging games of the season for Philadelphia, because not only did they have all three of Embiid, Paul George, and Tyrese Maxey together on the floor, but there looked to be a solid level of cohesion with that trio.
