Joel Embiid, who was originally listed on the NBA injury report as questionable for tonight’s home game with the Chicago Bulls, is now available to play.

Embiid didn’t play in the second half of the 76ers’ 119-107 win on Friday over the visiting Memphis Grizzlies because of neck stiffness.

Al Horford, who had been questionable with left Achilles soreness, is available.

Kyle O’Quinn, who was originally listed as out for personal reasons, is now available. He was out after the arrival of twins, but the team said he would return in time for tonight’s game.

New acquisitions Alec Burks and Glenn Robinson III were listed as out (trade pending). That changed after both will be available.

Tonight’s 6 p.m. meeting with the Bulls is the Sixers second to last game until the all-star break. They will also host the Los Angeles Clippers on Tuesday and then be off until Feb. 20 when Brooklyn visits the Wells Fargo Center.
