The Philadelphia 76ers are set to host the Chicago Bulls on Monday, November 2. The status of Jaylen Brown shouldn’t be in question beforehand.

When the Sixers released their initial injury report over the weekend, the early call suggested that Brown is set to play against the Bulls.

The veteran forward was not listed on the report. Barring any unexpected changes, Brown will be in the starting five against Chicago.

Lately, Brown has been dealing with a knee-related concern that he battled with earlier in his career during his time with the Boston Celtics.

When 76ers head coach Nick Nurse discussed Brown’s recent setback, he suggested that it wasn’t a long-term concern. The fact that Brown was back on the court after missing his first action of the season suggests that the veteran forward won’t be missing a chunk of games as long as he stays in the same form.
