Jerryd Bayless hit 6-of-13 shots for 13 points, two rebounds, two assists and a steal in 28 minutes Tuesday, when he started for injured Mike Conley (thigh).

Bayless could get another start on Wednesday and we're guessing he plays better. It's also worth noting that Mike Miller went down with a potentially serious ankle injury, which could mean that Bayless is called on to help out at shooting guard once Conley is back.

Jerryd Bayless scored just four points in Thursday's 101-81 loss to the Clippers with one assist and one steal in 27 minutes.

It was his first start of the season with Tony Allen (hip) inactive tonight. Bayless had a nice run as a starter last year, scoring an average of 16.0 points in four games, but the Clippers have owned him in the past couple years. Allen isn't expected to be out long, so Bayless can be left on the wire in most leagues.

Jerryd Bayless poured in a season-high 22 points in just 21 minutes off the bench on Wednesday, as the Grizzlies held on for a 100-93 victory in Boston.

He hadn't scored double-digit points in his previous eight games, so this random outburst was wholly unexpected. Bayless did much of his damage at the FT line, where he shot 9-of-11, and he even knocked down a 3-pointer for good measure. He'll be asked to score more with Marc Gasol (knee) out of the lineup, but we'd like to see him do this a few times before recommending him.

Jerryd Bayless (knee) went scoreless as he returned to action Wednesday night.

Bayless played twelve minutes and missed all three of his shots in his first action since missing the Grizzlies' previous two games with a knee injury. While he can be useful for fantasy owners from time to time, Bayless is as streaky as they come and predicting his outbursts is akin to predicting the weather.

Jerryd Bayless returned to action on Wednesday November 13.

Jerryd Bayless is in uniform and expected to play on Wednesday.

He's dealing with a knee injury and isn't likely to see heavy minutes, but it sounds like he'll at least get into the game.

Jerryd Bayless (knee) is a game-time decision for Wednesday's game against the Raptors.

It's against his former team, so he probably wants to play given his competitive nature. Bayless has missed two games with his sprained right knee which was suffered on Wednesday Nov. 6. Nick Calathes has picked up much of the slack while Bayless has been out of the lineup.

Jerryd Bayless (right knee) will not play against the Warriors on Saturday.

He was diagnosed with a knee sprain on Thursday after landing awkwardly on Wednesday. Bayless has come off the bench this year, playing 21 minutes per game and scoring 8.6 points as one of the main pieces with the second unit. Tony Allen will pick up some extra minutes and the Grizzlies could turn to a guy like Nick Calathes to get a few minutes, as well.

After leaving Wednesday night's game with a knee injury, Jerryd Bayless is listed as day-to-day with a right knee sprain.

The good news is that Bayless was able to walk back to the locker room under his own power, but the bad news it that this injury could cause him to miss some time. Bayless didn't have a whole lot of fantasy value before the injury, but Tony Allen could see a boost in minutes (and his stats) if Bayless misses games.

Jerryd Bayless suffered a right knee sprain on Wednesday and will not return.

He hobbled back to the locker room under his own power and the severity of his injury is not known. The team will likely re-evaluate him on Thursday. Bayless was in a timeshare with Tony Allen and didn't have much fantasy value to begin with. He finished with three points, two boards and one 3-pointer in 15 minutes in a loss to the Pelicans. Allen gets a bump in value should Bayless miss time.

Jerryd Bayless came off the bench and hit 6-of-13 shots and two 3-pointers for 18 points, two rebounds, three assists and two steals in 28 minutes of Tuesday's preseason win.

Bayless can play both guard spots and could be turned to for offense over Tony Allen at times this season. He's not a must-own fantasy player, but could be a sneaky way to use a late pick in a deeper league.

Jerryd Bayless has elected to invoke his $3.1 million player option for next season to stay with the Grizzlies, reports Marc Stein of ESPN.com.

It's a bit of a surprise and reports from earlier this morning had him opting out. Bayless proved to be a useful sixth man for the Grizzlies after the Rudy Gay trade, headlined by March averages of 13.5 points and 1.7 triples on 45 percent shooting in 25.9 minutes per game. He did lose some steam in the playoffs thanks to shooting 35.3 percent from the field, so that may have been a factor in his decision to play it safe and not go for the big money. He'll be a late-round pick in standard fantasy drafts.

USA Today considers Jerryd Bayless a good bet to opt out of his $3.13M player option for 2013/14.

Jerryd Bayless says he and Lionel Hollins have 'moved on" after Hollins shoved him on the bench during Game 4 vs. the Spurs on Monday.

"It was in the heat of the moment," Bayless said. "We've moved on." We don't expect the shove to receive much attention since the Grizzlies lost, but it's good to see Bayless squashed any controversy immediately after the game.

Jerryd Bayless scored 19 points off the bench on Saturday to go with two boards, three assists, one steal and two 3-pointers in 30 minutes.

The Grizzlies are going to need as much perimeter scoring as they can get to keep up with the Clippers. Bayless is really their best option and hit 1.3 triples per game in since the All-Star break. It could be back to the drawing board, but Bayless figures to be in the team's plans in some capacity.

Jerryd Bayless scored 19 points on 6-of-13 shooting (2-of-6 3PTs, 5-of-6 FTs) with four rebounds, four assists, four steals and one block in 29 minutes off the bench on Monday.

The second unit was given the reins and played the entire fourth quarter, powering the Grizzlies to a much-needed win for the playoff seeding picture. Ed Davis went for 11 and 11 with a steal, and Keyon Dooling came out of nowhere to score 13 points with four treys. No starter played more than 24 minutes tonight, which means owners shouldn't get too comfortable with the minute distribution.

Jerryd Bayless returned from a knee injury on Friday and had 13 points with four boards, two assists, one steal and two 3-pointers in 30 minutes.

He didn't shoot the ball well in the 82-78 win, making only 5-of-14 from the field. Bayless has been useful off the bench for Memphis since Rudy Gay's departure and it should be interesting to see whether they give him similar responsibilities in the postseason.

Jerryd Bayless (knee) is probable to play on Friday against the Rockets.

Bayless has missed the last couple of games with his knee injury, but it was apparently never a major concern and he'll get back into his normal role vs. Houston, meaning Tony Allen should play a little less. With Arthur back, he'll help to back up Zach Randolph and Marc Gasol.

Jerryd Bayless (knee) and Darrell Arthur (back) will miss Tuesday's game with their injuries.

This shouldn't come as a surprise and should mean an uptick in minutes for guys like Ed Davis, Tony Allen and Quincy Pondexter.

Jerryd Bayless (knee, ankle) is doubtful for Tuesday's game against the Bobcats.

It will be Bayless' second game on the sidelines. Look for extra minutes out of starter Tony Allen and backup Quincy Pondexter.
