On Wednesday evening, the Chicago Bulls will hit the road to take on the Philadelphia 76ers as the 2025-26 season concludes. The Bulls are coming off one of their most impressive wins of the season by defeating the Houston Rockets despite a big win from Kevin Durant on Monday evening.
Heading into the matchup against the 76ers, the Bulls have a busy injury report. Zach Collins (toe surgery), Noah Esengue (left shoulder surgery), and Jaden Ivey (left patellofemoral pain syndrome) have already been ruled out of the contest.
Meanwhile, Effernie Simmons is suspected with a left ulnar styloid fracture, as is Isaac Okoro, with right patellofemoral pain syndrome. Guershon Yabusele is also questionable with a left ankle sprain.
For the 76ers, Joel Embiid is questionable with a right oblique strain, while Quentin Grimes is also questionable with an illness. Tyrese Maxey and Kelly Oubre Jr. will be out with various injuries, while Paul George is back in the lineup after serving a league-imposed 25-game suspension.
Overall, the Bulls don't have much to play for as the 2025-26 season reaches its home stretch outside the lottery odds, but the team is still hoping to finish strong, and they got off to a good start in that department with their win over the Rockets on Monday.
In that game, Chicago showed impressive poise in knocking down several tough shots in a row, including a dagger three from Matas Bouzelis, followed by another from Jalen Smith, that essentially put the game on ice.
They need to continue to move the ball and create good offense against a 76ers team that is desperate to maintain their playoff position in the Eastern Conference.
Tipoff between Chicago and Philadelphia is scheduled for 7:00 pm ET.
