Minus Noel, Winless Sixers Host Bulls Tonight

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- The 76ers will try again to pick up their first win of the season tonight as they host the Chicago Bulls.

Philadelphia is 0-5. Only one other NBA team has yet to taste victory this season? The 0-5 Los Angeles Lakers. Last time out on Wednesday, the 76ers lost to Orlando at the Center, 91-89, on a buzzer beater.

In that loss, Sixers forward/center Nerlens Noel suffered an ankle injury. That will keep him out of tonight's game with Chicago.

Chicago is expected to have center Joakim Noah back in the line-up tonight. He had missed a couple games with an illness. Guard Derrick Rose's status is up in the air as he deals with injuries to both ankles.

KYW's Matt Leon spoke with Tom Moore of the Bucks County Courier Times about the 76ers 0-5 start.
