Pours in career-high 33 in win
Bailey ended Thursday's 128-96 win over the Bucks with 33 points (13-27 FG, 7-19 3Pt), nine rebounds, four assists, one block and three steals in 34 minutes.
Analyse
The teenage forward has found his rhythm from long range. Bailey's 33 points set a new personal best for the rookie, while the seven made three-pointers tied his career high. The No. 5 pick in the 2025 Draft has sunk at least five treys in four of his last six games, averaging 20.0 points, 4.5 threes, 4.0 boards, 2.0 assists and 1.5 steals in 27.3 minutes over that stretch while shooting 50.5 percent from the floor and 44.3 percent from downtown.

Drops 17 points in return
Bailey (concussion) provided 17 points (6-13 FG, 5-10 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists and one block in 25 minutes during Wednesday's 147-111 loss to Minnesota.
Analyse
Bailey missed the Jazz's previous game Sunday after entering concussion protocol, but he was cleared ahead of Wednesday's contest and moved right back into the starting five. After averaging 31.1 minutes per game over his first nine appearances out of the All-Star break, Bailey handled a slightly reduced workload Wednesday, but that may have been a byproduct of the Jazz looking to ease him back into action. Expect Bailey to eventually reclaim a 30-plus-minute role once he's further removed from the head injury.

Good to go Wednesday
Bailey (concussion) is available for Wednesday's game against the Timberwolves, Ben Anderson of KSL News Salt Lake City reports.
Analyse
Bailey has been cleared to return versus Minnesota after missing Sunday's loss to Sacramento while in the league's concussion protocol. With the rookie first-rounder returning to action, fewer minutes will be available for the likes of Andersson Garcia and Elijah Harkless. Bailey has averaged 16.0 points, 4.5 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.2 steals in 28.7 minutes per game over 10 appearances since the All-Star break.

Questionable to play Wednesday
Bailey (concussion) is questionable for Wednesday's game versus Minnesota.
Analyse
Bailey wasn't available for Sunday's loss to Sacramento. Andersson Garcia entered the starting lineup in that one, amassing three points, 11 rebounds, three assists, two steals and one block in 43 minutes. If Bailey doesn't suit up again Wednesday, Garcia would presumably be in line for another start.

Not playing Sunday
Bailey (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Kings.
Analyse
Bailey entered the league's concussion protocol after taking a hit to the head during Friday's game against the Trail Blazers. The rookie first-rounder will have extra time to recover as the Jazz's next game after Sunday won't take place until Wednesday against the Timberwolves. Blake Hinson and Andersson Garcia are slated for larger roles in Bailey's absence.
