Lemon posted 18 points (6-22 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 4-5 FT), seven rebounds and one steal in Friday's loss to the Red Claws.
EDGE Analysis
Lemon has recorded double-digit point totals in each of Fort Wayne's first three games this year despite shooting just 32.7 percent from the floor. He managed to log seven rebounds Friday after averaging 2.5 per game over the first two games, but the high-volume shooter will hope to generate better scoring efficiency going forward.

Lemon was waived by the Pacers on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Lemon was waived less than a week after signing with the Pacers. The guard will likely head to Fort Wayne once the season begins and play with the Pacers' G League squad. Lemon averaged 20.9 points per outing last year splitting time between the Maine Red Claws and Windy City Bulls.

Lemon was waived by the Bulls on Saturday, K.C. Johnson of the Chicago Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
With the Bulls adding some depth over the offseason, Lemon's spot on the roster was no longer safe. It appears he'll still play for the Bulls during summer league, however.

Lemon totaled 20 points (9-19 FG, 2-2 3Pt), six rebounds and four assists over 28 minutes in the Bulls' loss to the 76ers on Wednesday.

Lemon registered eight points (4-16 FG, 0-2 3Pt), eight rebounds, five assists and two steals across 30 minutes in the Bulls' 116-96 loss to the 76ers on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Lemon's shot took a dive Saturday, but his work elsewhere still led him to a productive line. The 26-year-old has now alternated two strong shooting efforts with a pair of 25.0 percent tallies over the last four games, but he's averaging an impressive 14.3 points, 6.0 assists, 4.3 rebounds and 2.8 steals across 30.3 minutes during his brief stint with Chicago. Lemon should continue seeing extended minutes during the Bulls' final two games.

Lemon supplied 24 points (11-16 FG, 2-2 FT), eight assists, three rebounds, and two steals in 29 minutes during Wednesday's 115-114 win over the Wizards.
EDGE Analysis
Lemon amassed career highs in scoring and assists in this his third NBA appearance. While he delivered a dud (three-of-12 from the field) in Monday's loss to the Knicks, Lemon was absolutely electric in this one. Unless Zach LaVine (thigh) or Kris Dunn (back) return to the lineup in the near future, Lemon is likely to continue shouldering a large load offensively as the starting point guard.

Lemon will start Monday's game against the Knicks, K.C. Johnson of the Chicago Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
After a strong performance in his Bulls debut, Lemon will join the starters for Monday's game against the Knicks. The Bulls are dealing with a number of injuries, with most of their usual starters out, so Lemon could potentially remain with the starters for the remaining five games. Lemon saw 31 minutes in his debut, and should be in line for a similar, if not larger, role now that he's with the starters.

Lemon came away with 19 points (8-15 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-5 FT), six assists, four rebounds, four steals, and one block in 31 minutes during Saturday's 124-101 loss to the Raptors.
EDGE Analysis
Lemon made his season debut for the Bulls on Saturday, turning in a gem of a performance. He poured in a career-high 19 points, adding career-high numbers in rebounds, assists, and steals. In fact, prior to Saturday, he had scored a total of 17 points in his entire NBA career. The Bulls signed him for the remainder of the season and will likely want to see what they have. He should at least be in the rotation to finish the season but would need to do this again to be considered viable.

Lemon will sign a contract with the Bulls for the remainder of the season, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Half of the Bulls' roster is dealing with an injury, so Lemon will be added for depth. He hasn't racked up NBA minutes this season, but he played 35 total minutes for the Pelicans last year, accumulating 17 points, five assists, two rebounds and a block.
