The 19-year-old forward was scoreless in 11 minutes before leaving in the first half of the 131-129 victory.

Drafted No. 5 overall, Bailey is averaging 10.4 points and 3.3 rebounds in 30 games (21 starts) this season.

Brice Sensabaugh replaced Bailey to start the second half Friday and scored 20 points against the Pistons.
