Lemon registered 11 points (4-7 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-6 FT), two rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal across 12 minutes in the Celtics' 102-95 preseason loss to the Cavaliers on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

The 26-year-old is looking to carve out a role in the backcourt rotation after a strong performance with the Pelicans-affiliated team in Las Vegas Summer League play. Lemon's minutes were the most he's seen through the first three preseason games and provided him an opportunity to put his shooting skills on display. The Bradley product is likely to get a fairly long look this preseason to determine whether he could offer quality depth behind Kyrie Irving and Terry Rozier at the point.

Lemon agreed to a two-way contract with the Celtics on Monday, Shams Charania of Yahoo Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lemon played in five games in 2017-2018 with the Pelicans, averaging 3.4 points on 43.8 percent shooting. He is coming off summer league action with New Orleans, where he avearged 13.6 points and 6.4 assists in five games.

Lemon finished with 18 points (6-17 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 6-8 FT), six assists, five rebounds and one steal across 32 minutes during Thursday's 110-106 summer league loss to the Heat.

EDGE Analysis

Lemon was second on the team in points and led the team in assists Thursday. Though four summer league games, he's totaled 60 points and 25 assists while shooting 48.5 percent from the field.

Lemon posted 14 points (6-14 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), a team-high seven assists, three rebounds, three steals and a block across 32 minutes during Monday's 105-97 summer league loss to the Pistons.

EDGE Analysis

Lemon has been showing off his passing skills through three games in Vegas, racking up 19 assists. He's also totaled a solid six steals and three blocks. The former Bradley product appeared in five games for the Pelicans last season, and will be looking to secure another roster spot this time around.

Lemon posted 19 points (7-11 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT), nine assists, eight rebounds, two blocks and one steal across 27 minutes during the Pelicans' 110-84 win over the Heat in a Las Vegas Summer League contest Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Lemon played with New Orleans last season on a pair of 10-day contracts, seeing action in five games overall after going undrafted out of Bradley. The 25-year-old averaged an impressive 22.4 points, 6.1 assists, 4.7 rebounds and 2.0 steals for the Fort Wayne Mad Ants of the G-League last season, and a strong summer league showing could lead to a training camp spot.

Lemon will not be retained by the Pelicans following the conclusion of his second 10-day contract, Chris Haynes of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lemon has played in five games since signing his first 10-day contract at the end of February, averaging just 3.4 points and 1.0 assist across 7.0 minutes during that stretch of contests. Following the conclusion of Lemon's second 10-day deal, the organization had to decide whether to sign him for the rest of the season or let him go. Unfortunately for Lemon, the Pelicans opted for the latter and he'll likely now head back to the G-League with hopes of securing another call-up elsewhere.

Lemon agreed to a second 10-day contract with the Pelicans on Friday, Michael Scotto of The Athletic New York reports.

EDGE Analysis

Despite not seeing the floor during his first 10-day deal, the Pelicans have opted to keep Lemon on board for another 10 days. It's unclear if the Bradley product will see minutes this time around, though even if he does, it seems unlikely it will be enough to garner fantasy relevance.

Lemon signed a 10-day contract with the Pelicans on Tuesday, Shams Charania of Yahoo Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lemon has had a wildly impressive G-League campaign with Fort Wayne this season, averaging 22.7 points, 4.6 rebounds, 5.9 assists and 2.1 steals across 37 minutes per game. The 25-year-old will now finally get his call up to the big leagues, and with the Pelicans fairly light on backcourt depth, Lemon has a legitimate chance to be featured in the rotation during his tenure in New Orleans.
