Joel Embiid is back, and the Bulls front office couldn’t be more thankful.

The knee, the suspension, whatever excuse it was for the Philadelphia big man in missing the first nine regular-season games, back on the court is an MVP candidate who can fall out of bed and score 30 points with 10 rebounds.

What that means for the 76ers is the nightmare season will start getting better. What it means for the Bulls is another Eastern Conference team that should be jumping them in the standings by the winter.
