Ace Bailey Fantasy Stats

Utah Jazz forward Ace Bailey (illness) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's season opener against the Los Angeles Clippers. Bailey missed the end of the preseason because of a knee issue and is now dealing with an illness, which may delay his NBA debut. If he can't play against the Clippers, Utah will need Brice Sensabaugh to step up. Additionally, players like Cody Williams and Svi Mykhailiuk may see increased playing time. Sensabaugh picked up a lot of momentum at the end of 2024-25, averaging 14.1 points with red-hot 47.5 percent three-point shooting after the All-Star break.

Utah Jazz forward Ace Bailey finished with eight points (7-14 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds and three assists during 35 minutes in a 112-111 Summer League victory over the Memphis Grizzlies on Monday. Bailey rebounded after posting just eight points on 3-of-13 shooting during his first Summer League appearance on Saturday in Salt Lake City. After an improved performance during Monday's contest, the 18-year-old now has a total of 26 points, 14 rebounds, and four assists across 60 minutes in two Summer League outings.

The Utah Jazz announced that forward Ace Bailey has signed his rookie contract. Utah selected Bailey with the fifth overall pick in last month's NBA Draft. The former Rutgers standout was anticipated to be the No. 3 pick in the 2025 NBA Draft. However, he fell to the Jazz at No. 5 after refusing to participate in individual workouts for any NBA teams. Rumors surfaced pre-draft about whether Bailey wanted to play in Utah. He squashed the rumors by reporting to Summer League practices this week. In 30 games at Rutgers, Bailey averaged 17.6 points, 7.2 rebounds, 1.3 blocks, and 1.0 steals. Without question, his name should be mentioned in the Rookie of the Year conversation, assuming he stays healthy.

According to ESPN's Jonathan Givony, Utah Jazz forward Ace Bailey plans to report to the team on Saturday. "We've had good communication with Ace Bailey and his representatives," said a Jazz Representative. "We feel good about everything. We'll have a press conference Sunday and practice Monday." The former Scarlet Knight was anticipated to be the No. 3 pick in the 2025 NBA Draft. However, he fell to the Jazz at No. 5 after refusing to participate in individual workouts for any NBA teams. In 30 games at Rutgers, Bailey averaged 17.6 points, 7.2 rebounds, 1.3 blocks, and 1.0 steals. Without question, his name should be mentioned in the Rookie of the Year conversation, assuming he stays healthy. He'll also have a chance to start immediately with the Jazz. All things considered, Bailey will be one of the first rookies selected by fantasy managers in rookie drafts, especially now that he intends to suit up for Utah.
