Ace and his family are coming to Utah tomorrow. We\u2019ll have a press conference Sunday and a practice Monday.<\/p>\n<p id=\"fNDEKX\">\u201cThis has always been the plan, including for our other rookies, Walter Clayton and John Tonje \u2014 to let them go home and collect their belongings, and then fly right to summer league from Salt Lake City.\u201d<\/p>\n<p id=\"djuOAY\">Like the Jazz say, this has always been the plan and this whole saga has been much to do about nothing. On draft night, Bailey had nothing to say but great things about coming to Utah. His agency said he was thrilled to go to Utah. It\u2019s his player-manager, Omar Cooper, that appears to be the issue. <\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Ace Bailey&#8217;s representation joined <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/FOS_Today?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">@FOS_Today<\/a> to dispel rumors about Bailey not wanting to play for the Utah Jazz.<\/p>\n<p>Full conversation \u2b07\ufe0f<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Front Office Sports (@FOS) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/FOS\/status\/1938624614013231277?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">June 27, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<p id=\"l3bLhA\">It\u2019s an excellent thing for Bailey and the Jazz. Utah has a fantastic setup for the promising forward with a great head coach in sync with the front office and the owner. It\u2019s up to the Jazz now to make this situation work for Bailey. It would go a long way for the Jazz to make moves, such as trading their veterans like John Collins and Collin Sexton, so Bailey can have a clear runway for minutes and opportunities.<\/p>\n<p id=\"CON8IF\">We\u2019ll see how things develop as the season goes along.<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Much to the chagrin of Omar Cooper, the Utah Jazz #5 pick, Ace Bailey, will report to the&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":130521,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3785],"tags":[10543,10544,7,343,28,423,6,1385,381,1163,342,64,63,422,427,3972,1221],"class_list":{"0":"post-130520","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-utah-jazz","8":"tag-ace","9":"tag-bailey","10":"tag-basketball","11":"tag-dunk","12":"tag-front-page","13":"tag-jazz","14":"tag-nba","15":"tag-on","16":"tag-report","17":"tag-saturday","18":"tag-slc","19":"tag-the","20":"tag-to","21":"tag-utah","22":"tag-utah-jazz","23":"tag-utahjazz","24":"tag-will"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nba\/114758839669955629","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/130520","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=130520"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/130520\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/130521"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=130520"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=130520"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=130520"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
