On Saturday, July 5, 2025, at the Salt Lake City Summer League, Utah Jazz rookie Ace Bailey took the court for the first time in a Jazz uniform, facing off against rookie counterpart VJ Edgecombe and the Philadelphia 76ers. Bailey recorded 8 points on 3‑for‑13 shooting and pulled down 7 rebounds, including a critical one on the game’s final possession. Bailey was an impact on defense as well with 1 steal, 1 block, and took on the dirty work that doesn’t show up on the stat sheet . The Jazz play two more games in Salt Lake City (next one vs. Memphis), before heading to the Las Vegas Summer League starting July 10. Each outing is a chance for Bailey to build rhythm, expand his role, and tighten his game.
