Embiid missed the previous game against the Brooklyn Nets on Sunday due to a left knee injury. In his absence, the Sixers maintained their hot streak, recording their fifth win in six games. They sit atop the Eastern Conference standings.

Meanwhile, Jared McCain has missed the first six games of the season as he recovers from right thumb and left knee surgery. The 6-foot-3 guard suffered the injury setbacks in December during his rookie season. There is a strong chance that the former No. 16 pick makes his season debut on Tuesday against the Bulls.

Two Philadelphia 76ers players are, however, ruled out of Tuesday's game. Paul George hasn't been cleared to suit up just yet and will remain sidelined due to a left knee injury. The veteran forward is putting in the hard yards in training and practice sessions, but his potential comeback date remains unknown. Dominick Barlow (elbow) will also miss the game.

Both the Sixers and Bulls hold a 5-1 record after six games, occupying the top two spots in the conference standings.
