Ruled out Saturday
Bailey (hip) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Spurs.
Analysis
Bailey was unable to return to Friday's win over Detroit due to a left hip flexor strain and will miss the second leg of Utah's back-to-back set. His next opportunity to play will come Tuesday against Boston. With the rookie first-rounder sidelined, Brice Sensabaugh and Taylor Hendricks are candidates for increased playing time, while Cody Williams could enter the Utah rotation.

Won't return Friday
Bailey has been ruled out for the rest of Friday's game against the Pistons due to a left hip flexor strain, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
Analysis
It's not clear when Bailey sustained the injury, but he will not return for the second half and will end the night with zero points (0-2 FG), two rebounds, one steal and one block over 11 minutes. Brice Sensabaugh, Taylor Hendricks and Walter Clayton are candidates to see more playing time in the second half due to Bailey's injury.
