Second worst record in the West (7v-24d), Jazz announced some minor changes in sight before attacking 2025, with the arrival of Elijah Harkless to replace David Jones among the three two-way contract » from the Salt Lake City franchise. “EJ” Harkless arrives from the San Diego Clippers where he spent the last two seasons, interspersed with freelance work in the Canadian league (CEBL).
Capable of playing both back positions, this season he averaged 16.4 points, 5.7 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 2.3 steals in the G-League, where he recently posted his best career game, at 28 points.
Cody Williams sent to G-League
Like David Jones, who averaged 15.8 points, 6.1 rebounds and 3.1 assists with the Salt Lake City Stars, Elijah Harkless has never played a single minute in the NBA. We imagine that if Utah went to look for him from the competition, it was to try to confront him on the upper level.
At the same time, Utah announced that it had sent its rookie Cody Williams to the Salt Lake City Stars. Jalen's brother has played in 19 games since the start of the season with the Jazz averaging 3.5 points and 2.3 rebounds since the start of the season.
Two-way contract : Designed to create a new bridge between the NBA and the G-League, this type of contract allows each team to secure the services of two or three additional players, to develop them mainly in their affiliated development league franchise but also up to 50 matches in the NBA.
