Overview

• Tony Jones of The Athletic reported that the Utah Jazz rookie has ended his relationship with Omar Cooper and begun interviewing new representatives.
• Omar Cooper was not certified by the NBPA, which barred him from officially negotiating Bailey’s contracts.
• Marc Stein reported that Bailey’s camp declined individual workouts before the draft in an effort to steer him to the Washington Wizards at No. 6.
• The Jazz selected Bailey at No. 5 regardless, and he later reported to Utah and said he was grateful to join the team.
• Scrutiny grew after the Wizards signed Sharife Cooper, Omar’s son, to a two-way deal and after the NBA flagged the Jazz’s brief plan to include Omar Cooper Jr. on their Summer League staff.
