It looks like Ace Bailey‘s knee injury sustained during the Utah Jazz‘s 128-119 win over the Sacramento Kings won’t be too serious.
After the game between the Jazz and Kings, Utah’s head coach Will Hardy said that Bailey would be day-to-day for what was deemed a right knee contusion.
“It’s going to be day-to-day,” Hardy said of Bailey’s injury. “He went knee-to-knee on the play with [DeMar DeRozan], which, obviously, those things hurt, and then it gets a little stiff.”
“He came in the back, got checked out, tried to warm back up, didn’t feel great. So our medical team made the call to hold him out. But, it’ll be day-to-day.”
Bailey had left in the middle of the game after taking a collision with Kings veteran DeMar DeRozan in which he was slow to get up for, and would head to the locker room for further evaluation to find that sitting him out the rest of the way would be the best course of action.
But from Hardy’s latest intel, it’s good news for the Jazz knowing they won’t be without their top-five pick for much time, with the chance of maybe no missed games at all.
