The Utah Jazz started their preseason with high expectations of an early positive momentum. However, the franchise’s new addition, Ace Bailey’s availability, looms as a significant concern in their journey. After avoiding numerous workouts with several teams, Bailey signed his rookie deal with the Jazz, but his health status remains uncertain.

Bailey scored only 3 points in 11 minutes in the recent game against the Dallas Mavericks. This was a quiet night compared to his two games before, where he secured over 20 points in both and shot above 60%.
