CHICAGO -- Despite missing star guard James Harden -- and MVP candidate Joel Embiid for the second half -- the Philadelphia 76ers cruised to a comfortable 116-91 win over the Chicago Bulls on Wednesday night.
After scoring 12 points in the first half, Embiid sat out the rest of the game with mild right calf tightness. Harden did not play because of Achilles soreness.
Afterward, Sixers coach Doc Rivers said he did not have any long-term concerns for both players, noting the team was just being cautious.
