The Philadelphia 76ers potentially passing on Ace Bailey could send the former Rutgers standout slipping outside the top five picks of the 2025 NBA draft.

Bailey sidestepped questions Tuesday about skipping a workout with the Sixers. League sources said the Washington Wizards want to select him with the sixth pick.

Bailey notably did not work out with the Philadelphia 76ers, who currently hold the third overall pick. Despite skipping that workout, many analysts still project him to land in Philadelphia. Others believe the 76ers may instead opt for V.J. Edgecombe, who did meet with the team.
