Won't return Friday
Bailey won't return to Friday's game against the Kings due to a right knee contusion.
Analysis
Bailey was limited to 17 minutes Friday and posted five points (2-5 FG, 1-2 3Pt), four rebounds, two assists and a steal. The rookie has settled in nicely as a starter for the Jazz in recent weeks, and he should be considered questionable to play Sunday against the Rockets until the Jazz release an update on his condition in the coming hours.

It's the third time in eight games since moving into the starting five that Bailey has scored at least 20 points, and Monday's output tied his career high.
