Jerryd Bayless, John Henson doubtful Thursday for Bucks

Milwaukee Bucks guard Jerryd Bayless (knee) and forward/center John Henson (back) are not expected to play Thursday versus the Boston Celtics.

What It Means:

Head coach Jason Kidd said on Monday that both Bayless and Henson "won't be back any time soon," so it's very unlikely that either guy takes the court Thursday. Michael Carter-Williams and O.J. Mayo will man the point guard spot in Bayless' absence, while Miles Plumlee and Greg Monroe will handle duties at the center position with Henson out.

Bayless owns a -1.8 nERD, which ranks 97th, in 36 games played this season. He's averaging 10.5 points, 3.4 assists, and 2.8 rebounds per game, while posting a career best 56.6 True Shooting Percentage. Henson has played 42 games this season, posting a 1.1 nERD that ranks 68th. He's averaging 6.8 points, 3.9 rebounds, and 2.0 blocks per game, while posting a 59.4 True Shooting Percentage, also a career best.
