Bayless won't play during Saturday's contest against the Bucks due to a sore left wrist, Jessica Camerato of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

EDGE Analysis

This is the first news of Bayless nursing a sore wrist, which may have occurred during Thursday's game against Boston. In his stead Saturday, T.J. McConnell, Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot and Justin Anderson are all candidates to see extra run.

Bayless contributed four points (2-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt), two rebounds and two assists across 25 minutes during an 89-80 win over the Celtics on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Bayless got the start for the injured J.J. Redick (leg) but didn't do much, as he put up just four points on five field goal attempts. He was outplayed by T.J. McConnell, who came off the bench and played 26 minutes. If Bayless continues to start, he will likely have some nice games here and there, but he shouldn't be expected to be a consistent force.

Bayless will get the start in place of the injured J.J. Redick on Thursday against the Celtics, Brian Seltzer of Sixers.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bayless has seen his role fluctuate throughout most of the season, but he's recently settled into roughly 17-25 minutes off the bench on most nights. That number should increase in Redick's absence, and Bayless will have a chance to remain in the starting lineup for at least 10-14 days, while Redick deals with a bone edema and small crack in his left fibula. Coach Brett Brown also noted that Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot and Justin Anderson will likely see increased time off the bench behind Bayless.

Bayless scored 14 points (6-10 FG, 2-3 3PT) to go with one rebound and one steal across 20 minutes during Saturday's 107-102 win against Denver.

EDGE Analysis

Bayless tied for the Philadelphia bench scoring lead with 14 points Saturday. The guard broke a three-game scoring drought of 4.6 points per game on the strength of an efficient shooting performance. Sinking 60.0 percent of his shots from the floor, Bayless shot above 50.0 percent for the first time in his last eight games. Averaging 7.5 shots per game, Bayless set a new season-high shooting percentage in a games when he shot 10 or more times in a game. Performances like Saturday's are sporadic for Bayless, who may need to contend with the return of rookie guard Markelle Fultz for playing time in the near future.

Bayless will start at shooting guard for Thursday's matchup with the Raptors, Keith Pompey of the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Sixers are set to be without usual starter J.J. Redick (hamstring) on Thursday, which gives Bayless the opportunity to jump into the top unit. In eight previous starts this season, Bayless has averaged 11.6 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.8 assists across 31.2 minutes, so a mild increase in production should be expected. T.J. McConnell will likely help cover Redick's minutes off the bench as well.

Bayless will return to the bench for Saturday's matchup with the Cavaliers.

EDGE Analysis

Bayless picked up the start in place of Dario Saric (eye) on Thursday, posting 12 points (5-9 FG , 2-3 3Pt), four rebounds and one assist across 30 minutes. However, Saric has been cleared for a return and will move back into the starting lineup, relegating Bayless back to the bench. Look for Bayless to see his minutes decrease with the move, though he's still been averaging 25.3 minutes over the last eight games, so it shouldn't be a major hit to his playing time.

Bayless will enter the starting five for Thursday's game against the Lakers, Tom Moore of the Bucks County Courier Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

With Dario Saric (eye) out, the Sixers are going with a smaller lineup that features Rob Covington at power forward, with Bayless playing alongside Ben Simmons and J.J. Redick on the wing. Bayles has logged 22 and 26 minutes, respectively, over the last few games, but could see a slight uptick in playing time with the promotion. That said, with T.J. McConnell rejoining the lineup off the bench, the gain will likely be minimal.

Bayless tallied 14 points (4-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 6-8 FT), four assists, and one rebound in 26 minutes during Wednesday's 118-113 win over the Wizards.

EDGE Analysis

Bayless has gone for exactly 14 points in two of the last three games, and he has now hit double figures in scoring in seven of 14 appearances this season. With T.J. McConnell (shoulder) unlikely to play in Thursday's matchup against the Celtics, Bayless could be in line to pick up a few extra minutes, as this was the most playing time he has seen since back on Nov. 3 against the Pacers.

Bayless (wrist) will play Monday against Utah, Jessica Camerato of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran missed the last six games with a bruised wrist, but he's been cleared to return to action and will look to pick up where he left off, averaging 11.0 points, 2.8 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 2.1 made threes per game. It's possible Bayless could be re-inserted into the starting five, though that would likely mean moving Dario Saric back to the bench.

Bayless (wrist) participated in Sunday's workout and is considered questionable for Monday's matchup with the Jazz, Jessica Camerato of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bayless has missed the last six games while working back from a wrist contusion, but appears to be nearing a return to full strength. He was able to take part in Sunday's workout and as long as the injury doesn't flare up following the increase in activity, Bayless could be back on the floor Monday. Look for another update following Monday's morning shootaround, but for now, Bayless should be considered questionable.
