Bembry (COVID-19 health and safety protocols) played 20 minutes off the bench Friday in the Raptors' 130-77 win over the Warriors, finishing with five points (1-2 FG, 3-4 FT), four rebounds, two assists and two steals.
EDGE Analysis
Toronto built its lead to 52 points by the end of three quarters, but Bembry had been part of head coach Nick Nurse's rotation even before the game got out of hand. With that in mind, the 26-year-old looks like he'll have a regular spot on the second unit after he returned to action Friday following a four-game absence. Bembry's opportunities could take a hit, however, once Kyle Lowry (foot), Rodney Hood (hip) and Fred VanVleet (hip) are back to full health.

Bembry (COVID-19 protocols) is off the injury report for Friday's game against the Warriors.
EDGE Analysis
Health and safety protocols forced Bembry to miss four straight games, but he'll be back Friday. He's been a significant part of coach Nick Nurse's rotation since late January. Over his past 23 appearances, Bembry has averaged 6.2 points, 3.0 rebounds and 2.4 assists in 21.8 minutes.

Bembry is out for Friday's game against the Suns due to health and safety protocols, Eric Koreen of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
With the Raptors constantly dealing with absences, Bembry has helped fill in on the wing, as he's averaged 4.8 points, 2.4 rebounds and 1.9 assists in 17.1 minutes per game this season. With him sidelined, more minutes could be available for Yuta Watanabe and Stanley Johnson.

Bembry provided three points (1-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt) and two rebounds in seven minutes before being ejected with 8:35 left in the fourth quarter of Monday's 117-99 loss to the Rockets after receiving a pair of technical fouls.
EDGE Analysis
Bembry checked into the game with just over three minutes remaining in the third quarter, marking his first appearance in four games. Raptors head coach Nick Nurse had effectively removed Bembry from the rotation, and getting run early from Monday's contest won't do the 26-year-old any favors as he attempts to reclaim a spot on the second unit. Paul Watson looks to have supplanted Bembry as the Raptors' top reserve wing.

Bembry will shift to the bench for Sunday's game against the Bulls, Erik Koreen of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
After starting the last three games in the absence of several regulars, Bembry will move to the bench, while Terence Davis gets the nod at shooting guard. Bembry is coming off of an 11-point, six-rebound, two-assist, two-steal, two-block performance against Charlotte on Saturday night.

Bembry had 11 points (5-9 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds, two assists, two steals and two blocks across 25 minutes in Saturday's loss against the Hornets.
EDGE Analysis
Bembry has been handed a bigger role of late due to the Raptors' lack of depth amid their COVID-19 outbreak, and he has started seven of Toronto's last 10 contests. Bembry has scored in double digits just twice in that 10-game stretch, but he has managed to fill the stat sheet regularly in that span. Across that 10-game span, Bembry is averaging 6.1 points, 3.5 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 0.8 steals and 0.5 blocks per game. His long-term upside isn't very high, though, and he is expected to return to a lesser role once players like Patrick McCaw, Pascal Siakam, OG Anunoby and Fred VanVleet return from their COVID-19 diagnoses.
