Top Freshman Ace Bailey Out for No. 25 Rutgers Season Opener Due to Mystery Injury

Highly touted freshman Ace Bailey to miss No. 25 Rutgers' opener with undisclosed injury

Highly touted freshman Ace Bailey will miss the season opener for No. 25 Rutgers due to an undisclosed injury sustained during practice just two days prior. This news comes as a disappointment to Scarlet Knights fans who were eager to see the young talent in action.

The Big Ten institution confirmed that the 6-foot-10 guard will not participate in the game against Wagner and will be assessed on a day-to-day basis. Details regarding the nature of the injury remain unclear, leaving fans and analysts speculating about his recovery timeline.

Bailey, alongside fellow freshman Dylan Harper, was a standout player in high school, contributing to the excitement surrounding the Scarlet Knights this season. Their commitment to Steve Pikiell’s program has propelled Rutgers into the AP Top 25, a remarkable shift from last season’s 15-17 record.

During his time at McEachern High School in Georgia, Bailey posted impressive stats, averaging 33.4 points, 15.5 rebounds, 3.9 assists, and 2.9 blocks per game. His recent performance, scoring 25 points in a preseason exhibition against St. John’s, showcased his potential and left fans eager for his collegiate debut.
