Bayless (knee) has been ruled out of Friday's matchup with the Magic.
Analysis:
The decision to rest Bayless for the night isn't all that surprising considering he hyper-extended his knee in Wednesday night's win over the Suns. The severity of the injury is still relatively unknown but with only six games left after Friday's tilt, Bayless could be shut down for the season if the injury doesn't improve. Rookie Rashad Vaughn will make his first start in Bayless' absence.
