Bayless (ankle) will "likely" return in a reserve role Saturday at Memphis, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Analysis:

Bayless was absent from the Bucks' back-to-back set Wednesday and Thursday due a right ankle injury. However, he could assume his typical gig as the primary backup point guard to Michael Carter-Williams. In seven appearances together since Carter-Williams joined the team at the trade deadline, Bayless has averaged eight points (on 39 percent shooting), 2.4 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 0.7 steals, and 0.7 three-pointers in 24 minutes.
