A win over the Chicago Bulls, who entered the contest with a lead of 1.5 games over the Sixers for the final play-in spot, would have gone a long way for Philadelphia. Instead, the Bulls jumped on the Sixers early and led by double-digits in the first quarter.

Joel Embiid has been battling a left knee injury all season, and he's going to miss Monday night's game against the Bulls, according to a source.

Embiid had a tough time moving around Saturday in a loss to the Brooklyn Nets. He and the team are considering alternative options, including another surgery, for his knee.
