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.

It has not been confirmed or denied that Utah was that team. On Friday, ESPN's Brian Windhorst said on Get Up that the Jazz will "not budge" if pressured by Bailey's camp and that he will begin his career with the team.

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.”
