Returns to action Wednesday Bolden (undisclosed) failed to score (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt) but grabbed two rebounds during Wednesday's win over Creighton.
Impact Bolden returned to action after failing to play in Sunday's game against Providence, but logged just six minutes off the bench was was a non-factor. After Wednesday's brief appearance, Bolden is averaging 8.1 points and 1.9 rebounds in 19 games played.

Sits out entirely Bolden did not take the court in Sunday's 69-62 loss to Providence.
Impact No word of an injury in play here had ever surfaced, so fantasy managers are forced to assume Bolden was simply benched after seeing declining playing time across his last three games. Both Bolden and fellow regular starter Jayden Taylor were moved to the bench as part of this realignment, but Taylor at least saw 13 minutes of action. Bolden did record a season-high 23 points back on Jan. 13 against Georgetown, but has followed up that performance with a two-point effort and back-to-back games getting shut out. The Bulldogs have fallen below .500 on the season and are just 2-6 in conference play, so coach LaVall Jordan was more than due to shake things up. Bolden's next chance to get in the game will be Wednesday against Creighton.

Records 23 points Bolden closed Thursday's 72-58 win over Georgetown with 23 points (6-15 FG, 5-14 3Pt, 6-6 FT), two rebounds, two assists and one steal over 33 minutes.
Impact Bolden recorded a career-high for points and posted a season-high for attempts, three-point attempts and free throws in a breakout performance. This was the second game of the season where the senior eclipsed 20 points. He will look to continue to stretch the floor against Villanova on Sunday.

He shot 34.1 percent from three-point range last season, and thus far this season has improved to 41.9 percent.

Jair Bolden had a season-high 21 points as Butler beat DePaul 67-53JANUARY 20, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Leads team in points in win Bolden recorded 21 points (7-17 FG, 5-12 3PT, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, two assists and one steal in 35 minutes during the 67-53 win over DePaul on Tuesday.
Impact Bolden was very inefficient in the win Tuesday. The guard may have led the team in points, but he was very underwhelming in the conversion department. Bolden went a mediocre 41 percent from the floor. He did add a few grabs and assists on top of it, but it is concerning for how many attempts he had to only convert at that clip. Nonetheless, he is still a significant piece of the Bulldogs' puzzle and will be a viable option moving forward.
