76ers' Jerryd Bayless: Ruled out for Sunday

Bayless (wrist) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup with the Cavaliers.

Analysis:

After initially being deemed probable to play Sunday, the 76ers will opt to hold Bayless out while he nurses some lingering soreness in his left wrist, an injury that had forced him to miss the team's first 13 games of the season. It's likely not a major setback for Bayless, but the team won't take any chances with the 28-year-old in order to avoid an aggravation. Look for Sergio Rodriguez to take Bayless' spot in the starting lineup.
