Whether or not the Bulls have to face Joel Embiid without Vooch, Billy Donovan said the defensive plan is centered on disrupting every ball fed to him: “With him, it’s got to be a collective team effort. Nobody’s gonna be able to stop him one-on-one.” – 6:04 PM

#Bulls at Philadelphia tonight. DeMar DeRozan is averaging 35.7 pts, 7.7 rebs, 4.0 asts and shooting 57% vs. Sixers this season.
Vucevic listed as questionable with sore hamstring. Probably more likely he plays, but we’ll see.
