Ace Bailey Scores 2 Points in NBA Debut for Jazz on Minutes Restriction Due to Illness

Ace Bailey scored two points in limtied action in his NBA debut for the Utah Jazz.

Bailey did make the highlight reel with his first NBA bucket, though, as he slammed in a dunk in the first half.

Bailey did contribute in other areas, though, as he hauled in four rebounds and dished out two assists.

The illness Bailey is dealing likely hampered him from putting up a massive night in the stat column like some of his fellow rookies.

Bailey still played five minutes over his minutes restriction, albeit in a blowout in over the Los Angeles Clippers, and is a meaningful part of the Utah rotation moving forward.

Bailey's next opportunity to earn playing time comes on Friday on the road against the Sacramento Kings. Utah then plays two games at home against the Phoenix Suns and Portland Trailblazers.
