It's unclear exactly why Battle isn't playing Tuesday, though it's worth noting he previously dealt with a lower-back issue this preseason. His penultimate chance to play before the regular season will come Thursday against New York.
Bittle can presumably be ruled out for the remainder of the preseason as he works his way back to full health. The big man was spotted in a walking boot in early September and remains without a clear timetable for a return to game action.
Jemison will be held out of Tuesday's contest for undisclosed reasons. His second-to-last chance to play again this preseason will come in Thursday's rematch against New York.
