What happened: Tennessee marks a home-state stop for Bailey in his second Jazz campaign. His mother marked the moment by reflecting on raising him to the NBA.

Why it matters: Home-state games bring extra scrutiny for recent high picks finding rotation footing. A composed showing would set a steady tone for his Year 2 responsibilities.

What to watch: Utah moves on with its 2026-27 preseason slate after the Tennessee stop.
