Bennett banged out 31 points (11-23 FG, 7-15 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds, four assists, one steal and one block across 36 minutes in Tuesday's 126-125 road loss to the Delaware 87ers.
EDGE Analysis
The bruising power forward extended his streak of double-digit scoring to nine straight games during this close loss on the road. This was unfortunately the sixth straight loss for the Crustacean Nation. The seven made threes matched a career high for the burly Canadian. Bennett should continue to see big minutes for the Red Claws' last four games. The Celtics, dealing with multiple injuries, will probably keep Kadeem Allen and Jabari Bird up with the parent club for the foreseeable future. One more injury in Boston, and Bennett might find himself in Celtic green.

Bennett banged out 23 points (8-22 FG, 6-15 3Pt, 1-1 FT), eight rebounds, one assist, one steal and one block across 40 minutes in Monday's 102-94 loss to the Raptors 905.
EDGE Analysis
Both Bennett and Kadeem Allen chipped in 40 minutes of run for the Red Claws as Maine stuck to an eight man rotation. Bennett's 15 three-point attempts were a season high, as clearly the organization wants to mold Bennett into the prototypical "stretch four". He's now attempted 10.6 threes over his past five games. Bennett and his Red Claw teammates won't play again until Wednesday, February 21st due to the All-Star break, though Devin Williams will participate in the International Challenge as part of the USA roster.

Bennett delivered 24 points (9-13 FG, 6-9 3Pt), seven rebounds, and three assists across 39 minutes in Friday's 123-112 loss to Northern Arizona.
EDGE Analysis
Bennett 39 minutes were a team high. His hot shooting streak from behind the arc was not enough for the Red Claws to get past the Suns, who traded Bennett to Maine in late December. His 24 points by far exceed the 12.9 points per game he's averaging this season.

Bennett has rejoined the Northern Arizona Suns.
EDGE Analysis
Bennett stepped away from the team to participate in the FIBA Basketball World Cup 2019 Americas Qualifiers for Team Canada, but he's back with the Suns and is expected to return to game action this week. Prior to his departure, the former No. 1 pick was averaging 12.3 points and 7.2 rebounds in six games (all starts).

Bennett was let go by the Suns on Wednesday, Chris Mannix of The Vertical reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bennett has again failed to impress a front office enough to warrant an NBA roster spot. It's possible he pursues options in the G-League, but overseas might be where he ends up long term.

Bennett is dealing with a low back strain and has been ruled out for Monday's preseason matchup against the Jazz, Kyle Goon of the Salt Lake Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
The exact severity remains unclear, so consider Bennett day-to-day moving forward. Bennett's next opportunity to play will be Wednesday against the Trail Blazers, but tentatively consider him questionable for that contest.
