It’s perhaps not the big name Utah Jazz fans were hoping for, but the team did make an addition on NBA free agency’s first full day Monday.
The Jazz came to terms with center Drew Eubanks on a 2-year, $10 million contract, in a move first reported by ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski. Eubanks, a 6-9 center, spent last season with the Suns after two years with Portland and three with the San Antonio Spurs.
Eubanks, 27, averaged five points and four rebounds per game for Phoenix last year, playing 15 minutes per night as Phoenix’s backup center. He earned that role over former Jazzman Udoka Azubuike, who signed a one-year minimum deal with the Suns last season. Eubanks, meanwhile, had a player option for the 2024-25 season with the Suns, which he opted out of to pursue free agency.
The center worked his way up through the NBA ranks after going undrafted in the 2018 NBA Draft after three seasons at Oregon State.
