Jerryd Bayless: Taking talents to China
Bayless agreed to terms on a contract Thursday with the Sichuan Blue Whales of the Chinese Basketball Association, Emiliano Carchia of Sportando.com reports.
Bayless, 30, will head overseas for the first time in his career after stints with the Trail Blazers, Hornets, Raptors, Grizzlies, Celtics, Bucks, 76ers and Timberwolves since he was selected in the first round of the 2008 NBA Draft. Given his advancing age along with the fact that he shot just 35.7 percent from the floor in 34 games with Minnesota in 2018-19, Bayless' NBA playing days could well be over.

Timberwolves' Jerryd Bayless: Questionable Sunday
Bayless is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Thunder due to a right ankle contusion.
It doesn't appear as though Bayless suffered the injury during Friday's game against the Heat, as the veteran guard was a late add to the injury report for Sunday's matchup. It's currently unknown how severe Bayless' ankle injury is, but for now, considered him a game-time call versus the Thunder on Sunday.

Timberwolves' Jerryd Bayless: Drops 17 points, six dimes in win
Bayless finished with 17 points (5-11 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 5-6 FT) and six assists in 26 minutes during Friday's 131-130 overtime win against the Warriors.
Bayless provided more points and assists than starting point guard Tyus Jones in this one. With Derrick Rose (elbow) and Jeff Teague (foot) both out for the season, Bayless has earned at least 16 minutes in eight straight appearances. However, he's not the most consistent contributor, and he's best reserved for use in deeper leagues that value counting stats more than efficiency.

Timberwolves' Jerryd Bayless: Plays 23 minutes in Thursday's loss
Bayless contributed eight points (4-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt), four assists, three rebounds, and two steals in 23 minutes during Thursday's 120-100 loss to the Jazz.
Bayless has combined to earn 45 minutes across the last two contests. The absences of Jeff Teague (foot) and Derrick Rose (elbow) have resulted in the team turning to Bayless to fill the primary backup point guard role behind Tyus Jones, and it's unclear how long the aforementioned veterans will be sidelined. All things considering, those considering Bayless as a cheap option in daily formats for Sunday's showing versus the Rockets will want to be sure Teague and Rose are out before making a commitment.

Timberwolves' Jerryd Bayless: Healthy scratch for Tuesday's win
Bayless (DNP-Coach's Decision) didn't see the floor during Tuesday's 131-120 win over the Thunder.
Bayless hasn't appeared in three straight games. With Jeff Teague, Derrick Rose, and Tyus Jones all back to full strength, Bayless is buried on the bench and can likely be avoided across all formats unless another rash of injuries strikes.

Timberwolves' Jerryd Bayless: Comes off bench in return
Bayless (toe) played 15 minutes off the bench and contributed two points (1-3 FG, 0-2 3Pt) and two assists Monday in the Timberwolves' 130-120 win over the Clippers.
Due to a surfeit of injuries in the backcourt, Bayless had drawn six straight starts at point guard before sustaining a toe injury last Thursday in Orlando that resulted in him missing the second half of a back-to-back set. Though Bayless got the green light to play Monday, he saw only a limited role off the bench with both Jeff Teague and Derrick Rose back in the mix after recovering from injuries that kept both sidelined for multiple contests. Now third in the pecking order among the Wolves' healthy point guards, Bayless will probably fill only a limited role off the bench moving forward and could drop out of the rotation entirely when Tyus Jones (ankle) likely returns shortly after the All-Star break.

Timberwolves' Jerryd Bayless: Cleared to play
Bayless (toe) has been cleared to play Monday against the Clippers.
Bayless missed the last game with a minor toe issue, but the Wolves will have both he and Jeff Teague healthy for the first time in multiple weeks. Bayless has been a productive fill-in for Teague, and it's unclear how the pair of veterans will split the workload Monday night with Derrick Rose also available as a backcourt option.

Timberwolves' Jerryd Bayless: Questionable for Monday
Bayless (toe) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Clippers.
Bayless missed the Wolves' last game with a big toe injury. The team's backcourt has been hit with a number of injuries, so Bayless was averaging 36.5 minutes per game. With Tyus Jones doubtful and Derrick Rose also questionable, Bayless could be in line for another large workload if he is able to go. More information on his status should come out following the team's morning shootaround on Monday.

Timberwolves' Jerryd Bayless: Out Friday
Bayless (toe) will not play in Friday's game versus the Pelicans, Alan Horton of the Timberwolves Radio Network reports.
Bayless has played admirably in an extended role recently due to a plethora of injuries in the Timberwolves' backcourt, but he will be unable to go Friday. In his absence, Isaiah Canaan will draw the start at point guard, while Jeff Teague will be available off the bench following a relatively lengthy injury stint. Consider Bayless day-to-day heading into Monday's matchup with the Clippers.

Timberwolves' Jerryd Bayless: Deemed questionable
Bayless (toe) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Pelicans.
Due to the glut of injuries at point guard, Bayless has started the last six games at the position, averaging 11.5 points, 7.3 assists and 4.2 rebounds in 36.5 minutes per game during those contests. However, after hurting his foot in the front end of the back-to-back set Thursday in Orlando, Bayless has become the latest in a long line of injured floor generals. Minnesota has already ruled Derrick Rose (ankle) and Tyus Jones (ankle) out for the contest, while Jeff Teague (foot) joins Bayless with the questionable tag. If both Teague and Bayless are sidelined, fifth-string option Isaiah Canaan would pick up all the minutes he can handle as the team's starter.

Timberwolves' Jerryd Bayless: Status uncertain for Friday
Bayless is questionable for Friday's game against Orlando due to a toe injury, Chris Hine of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
Bayless left Thursday's matchup with the Magic after suffering an apparent toe injury, but the team failed to provide any further updates. He was held scoreless but recorded two rebounds along with three assists and a steal in 27 minutes in Orlando. Expect an update on his status as tipoff nears. Jeff Teague (foot), Derrick Rose (ankle) and Tyus Jones (ankle) are all questionable for Friday's tilt, so if Bayless can't go, the Timberwolves would likely turn to Isaiah Canaan to handle a large workload at point guard.

Timberwolves' Jerryd Bayless: Production tails off Tuesday
Bayless was held to five points (2-10 FG, 1-4 3Pt), eight assists and two rebounds in 37 minutes Tuesday in the Timberwolves' 108-106 loss to the Grizzlies.
With the top three point guards on the depth chart still sidelined, Bayless drew his fifth consecutive start Tuesday. The veteran had paid dividends for those who scooped him off the waiver wire with double-doubles in the Timberwolves' past two games, but he turned in a dud in the first of Minnesota's three contests this week. It's far from a lock that any of the Wolves' injured point guards will be ready to play Thursday in Orlando, so Bayless could at least have a path to big minutes for one more game.
