Ace Bailey News, Rumors, Updates - Utah Jazz

Iffy for Thursday Bailey is questionable for Thursday's game against the Mavericks due to a left hip flexor strain.

Impact Bailey returned from a five-game absence in Wednesday's defeat in Oklahoma City, and he's in danger of sitting out the second leg of this back-to-back. If the rookie first-rounder can't suit up, Svi Mykhailiuk and Brice Sensabaugh would see an increase in streaming value Thursday.

Impact Bailey returned from a five-game absence as a result of a hip injury, logging just 10 minutes off the bench. While he should eventually move back into the starting lineup, the medical staff is likely to take a cautious approach, meaning his playing time could be limited for the foreseeable future. Even as a starter, Bailey has failed to make the most of his opportunities thus far this season, averaging 10.1 points and 1.5 three-pointers in 23.4 minutes per game.

Jazz have zero regrets about drafting Ace Bailey despite his numbers Bailey's not consistently lighting the world on fire, and it hasn't mattered one bit to the Jazz.

DECEMBER 20, 2025 • THEJNOTES.COM

Solid total in defeat Bailey posted 19 points (7-13 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-6 FT), four rebounds and one steal over 26 minutes during Thursday's 143-135 loss to the Lakers.

Impact Bailey enjoyed a decent night on the floor despite the end result. The 2025 first-round pick has endured some low totals, but he's certainly scoring well enough to be a relevant producer for the Jazz. Since earning the starting job in early November, he's averaged 12.8 points, 3.2 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.0 steals over 17 games.

Quiet line in win Bailey totaled seven points (3-9 FG, 1-4 3Pt), two rebounds and three assists in 24 minutes before fouling out of Monday's 140-133 overtime victory over Dallas.

Impact While Bailey was clearly outshined by Cooper Flagg's 40-point explosion, his team was able to get the last laugh as Utah ended up winning in overtime. Bailey, however, has not been shooting well, averaging 9.2 points on just 35.2 percent from the field and 1.4 threes on a meager 31.8 percent clip in his last five contests.

Modest production continues Bailey racked up 13 points (5-14 FG, 3-8 3Pt), one rebound, four assists, one block and one steal across 32 minutes during Sunday's 131-101 loss to the Thunder.

Impact Bailey's production has spiked yet, but he has been a consistent producer since moving into the starting lineup, averaging 13.1 points, 3.2 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 1.1 steals and 0.5 blocks in 26.3 minutes over his last 14 appearances. Bailey has played at least 32 minutes in two straight games, recording at least one steal and one block in each of those contests. Before this two-game stretch, Bailey had played more than 30 minutes only three times in 21 appearances.
