Bledsoe will start Friday's game against the Spurs, Matt Velazquez of the Journal Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bledsoe, whom the Bucks acquired earlier in the week, will immediately enter the starting lineup in his debut, as coach Jason Kidd moves reigning Rookie of the Year Malcolm Brogdon to the bench. Kidd said Bledsoe will not face a hard minutes restriction Friday, though he'll be closely monitored considering he may have some rust to shake off after missing a few weeks of game action.

Bledsoe went through shootaround Friday and is expected to make his Bucks debut later in the evening against the Spurs, Matt Velazquez of the Journal Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bledsoe was dealt to the Bucks on Monday, but the trade wasn't finalized until a couple of days later, so he was unable to play in Tuesday's loss to the Cavs. The former-Sun was with the team at shootaround, and all signs point to him being an option for coach Jason Kidd on Friday, though it's unclear if he'll immediately enter the starting lineup.

Bledsoe is expected to make his debut for the Bucks on Friday against the Spurs, Paul Garcia of TheSportsDaily.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Bucks play on Tuesday, though seemingly need more time to get Bledsoe caught up to speed before deploying him. He'll likely be the starting point guard for the team and should see 30-plus minutes. As a result, Malcolm Brogdon is a strong candidate see his role take a hit.

Bledsoe, in a trade to be finalized, will be traded to the Bucks in exchange for Greg Monroe and a first-round pick, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

After tweeting in late October that he no longer wanted to play in Phoenix, Bledsoe got his wish. He will almost certainly be the Bucks' starting point guard over Malcolm Brogdon, who may still play a significant role of the bench. Last season, Bledsoe posted 21.1 points, 6.3 assists, 4.8 rebounds and 1.4 steals across 33.0 minutes per game. While not an excellent shooter (43.3 percent from the field and 33.5 percent from deep), he's a known defensive stopper and brings more ball-handling and athleticism to Milwaukee, taking some pressure off Giannis Antetokounmpo.

Bledsoe (coach's decision) won't start Wednesday's matchup against the Jazz and is unlikely to play after what appeared to be a public trade request earlier this week, Craig Grialou of ArizonaSports.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The relationship between Bledsoe and the Suns' organization has soured following a public trade request this past weekend, and he was already held out earlier this week in a game against the Kings. Interim coach Jay Triano has confirmed he'll keep the same starting lineup as Monday, which means Mike James will pick up another stint with the top unit. That all but confirms Bledsoe won't play and the general belief remains that he'll eventually be traded once the Suns find the right deal.

Bledsoe was sent home from the Suns' shootaround Monday morning and will not play against the Kings, Chris Haynes of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bledsoe tweeted Sunday afternoon that he does not want to be in Phoenix, an opinion he reportedly expressed to management prior to the start of the season. The Suns responded by firing coach Earl Watson on Sunday evening, but Bledsoe remains discontented and will be inactive Monday, likely as a form of internal discipline. With the Suns already looking like one of the worst teams in the West, it's difficult to imagine the situation working itself out, and the prevailing belief is that Phoenix may have no choice but to trade Bledsoe at some point in the near future. For now, consider Bledsoe questionable on a game-to-game basis as Wednesday's home matchup with the Jazz approaches.

Bledsoe (ankle) will play during Friday's game against the Lakers, Scott Bordow of the Arizona Republic reports.

EDGE Analysis

There were question marks surrounding Bledsoe's status for Friday after he twisted his ankle Wednesday, but Bledsoe himself noted that he will be available against the Lakers. He had an underwhelming debut, posting 15 points, four rebounds, three assists, two steals and one block across 29 minutes.

Bledsoe is questionable for Friday's game against the Lakers due to a right ankle sprain, Scott Bordow of the Arizona Republic reports.

EDGE Analysis

It's unclear when Bledsoe suffered the injury. More updates should arrive as the team goes through pregame warmups. If he's ultimately held out or limited, Tyler Ulis will probably be the main beneficiary of his absence.

Bledsoe recorded 15 points (5-18 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds, three assists, two steals, one block but five turnovers during Wednesday's 124-76 blowout loss to the Trail Blazers.

EDGE Analysis

Wednesday's performance was a game that Bledsoe, along with the rest of the team, will probably want to soon forget. There's hardly anything to be encouraged about, except that Bledsoe took 18 shots -- an improvement over his mark of 15.7 per game last year. He also put together a quality defensive effort.

Bledsoe totaled three points (1-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven assists and five rebounds across 22 minutes in Monday's 120-102 preseason loss to the Jazz.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran point guard couldn't get much going from the field but was effective setting up his teammates for scoring opportunities. Bledsoe has yet to score in double digits through three exhibitions, and he's 3-for-14 from the field over the last two. However, given his established body of work, there's little reason to believe his struggles are the product of anything more than some rust after he was shut down for the 2016-17 season in mid-March. He'll look to continue sharpening his game versus the Trail Blazers on Wednesday night.
