Nembhard ran the offense to perfection, setting a career high in assists and becoming just the fifth player in franchise history to record 19 dimes, joining Tyrese Haliburton, Jamaal Tinsley, Mark Jackson and Jalen Rose. He paired that with just two turnovers and a plus-4 differential in the narrow loss.

Batum isn't part of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Raptors, Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Yabusele posted 11 points (3-8 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT) and four rebounds over 22 minutes during the Bulls' 157-137 loss to the 76ers on Wednesday.

Yabusele was one of nine Bulls players to score in double digits, but the team was ineffective defensively in a blowout loss. The veteran big man could be in line for an expanded role in the coming days depending on the statuses of Jalen Smith (calf) and Nick Richards (elbow), both of whom left Wednesday's game due to injury. Yabusele started in 12 of 13 games from early February to mid-March, scoring in double digits in eight of those contests while recording two double-doubles and a near triple-double against the Pistons on Feb. 21.
