NBA Summer League: Jazz rookie Ace Bailey drops 18 points, throws down 2 huge dunks in win over Grizzlies

Ace Bailey delivered a strong performance in the Utah Jazz's 112-111 Summer League victory over the Memphis Grizzlies, contributing 18 points, seven rebounds, and three assists. He connected on 5-of-9 shots in the first half, highlighted by a second-quarter alley-oop dunk off an Isaiah Collier assist, and added another dunk following a rebound in the third period.

Kyle Filipowski provided the game's top dunk with a one-handed slam over GG Jackson in the third quarter. Utah secured the win with a pivotal 13-4 run early in the fourth, capped by Bailey's three-pointer. GG Jackson led Memphis with 27 points and five rebounds, supported by Jaylen Wells (23 points) and Cam Spencer (23 points, including 7-of-10 from three-point range).

Brice Sensabaugh dominated for Utah, scoring a game-high 37 points with six three-pointers and a critical steal in the final seconds. Jackson's buzzer-beating two-pointer left Memphis one point short of overtime. Sensabaugh, drafted 28th overall in 2023, was complemented by Cody Williams (18 points) and Collier (13 points) for the Jazz.

This marked Bailey's second Summer League appearance after an eight-point debut against VJ Edgecombe. The victory improved Utah's Summer League record to 2-0.
