It hasn’t even been two days since the 2025 NBA Draft and there’s already massive drama brewing. Ace Bailey, who was selected with the 5th pick by the Jazz is blowing off the team, decided not to fly to Utah with fellow first round pick Walter Clayton Jr.

Will Utah Jazz draft pick Ace Bailey be there when the Salt Lake City Summer League begins? While a new ESPN report raises more questions, Jazz officials remain confident in their selection.

Ex- Rutgers star Ace Bailey hasn’t reported to his new team, the Utah Jazz, as of Friday morning. Bailey was chosen by the Jazz with the No. 5 pick in Wednesday’s NBA Draft though it was not his “preferred destination.”
