76ers' Joel Embiid: Will play Friday

Embiid (knee) is available for Friday's game against the Bulls.

Embiid will shed his questionable tag due to right knee injury management and suit up in his second consecutive contest. Over five appearances in December, the star big man has averaged 23.2 points, 8.4 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1.2 blocks in 29.6 minutes per game. He has shot 41.1 percent from the field and 17.4 percent from downtown during that span.
