Joel Embiid was listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bulls due to a left knee injury that has forced him to play in just four of the Philadelphia 76ers' 21 regular-season games. He has missed seven straight games over that span.

However, the former MVP will feature in the starting lineup and face a hefty minutes restriction since he's been cleared to suit up, Julia Poe of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Embiid has struggled in the games he's played this season, averaging 19.8 points on 37.9& from the field, 7.5 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 1.0 blocks over 31.3 minutes per contest.
