Utah Jazz forward Ace Bailey exited Friday’s game against the Detroit Pistons in the first half due to a hip injury and will not return to play. According to reports, Bailey sustained a left hip flexor strain while on the court, which prompted his early departure.
As Bailey left the game partway through the first half, bettors who placed wagers on his performance may be curious about the implications for their bets under DraftKings Sportsbook’s Early Exit program. This program stipulates that if a player exits a game early due to injury, bets placed on that player’s lines will be treated accordingly. Specifically, single pre-game and live prop bets on Bailey’s lines will be considered a loss but will be refunded via cash credits within 24 hours of the game’s conclusion. For those who placed parlay bets that included Bailey’s performance, these bets will remain active with adjusted odds following the removal of the affected legs.
In the brief time he spent on the court, Bailey contributed two rebounds, a steal, and a block over 11 minutes of action before his injury cut his game short. This incident marks another challenge for the Jazz as they navigate injuries during the season. Fans and team officials alike will be hoping for a swift recovery for Bailey as they look to maintain momentum in upcoming games.
