Nic Claxton (hamstring) recorded four points (2-of-3 FGs), four rebounds, four assists and two blocks in Sunday’s loss to the 76ers.

Injured early in the preseason, Claxton was limited to 16-20 minutes in his Bulls debut on Sunday. He played 18 minutes and recorded a few rebounds, assists and blocks. Claxton came off the bench, with Jalen Smith (17/8/2, four blocks and two three-pointers) remaining in the starting lineup. The roles will reverse eventually, but not until Claxton’s minutes restriction is lifted.
