Drew Eubanks Signs Two-Year Deal With Jazz

AUGUST 12: Well over a month after the Jazz and Eubanks reached an agreement, they officially finalized their deal over the weekend, according to NBA.com’s transaction log.


JULY 1: The Jazz will add free agent center Drew Eubanks on a two-year, $10MM contract, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski (Twitter link).

Eubanks, 27, spent last season as a backup in Phoenix, where he averaged 5.1 points and 4.3 rebounds in 75 games. He became an unrestricted free agent after turning down a $2.65MM player option for next season.

Eubanks broke into the league in 2018 on a two-way contract with the Spurs. He spent three-and-a-half seasons in San Antonio before being traded to Toronto, then signed with Portland after the Raptors waived him. He joined the Suns as a free agent last summer.

Eubanks will compete for minutes on Utah’s front line with third-year center Walker Kessler and veteran John Collins. The Jazz also selected Duke big man Kyle Filipowski in last week’s draft.

Because his salary for 2024/25 will come in under $8MM, the Jazz have the option of adding Eubanks with their room mid-level exception and keeping their $38MM in cap space, notes Yossi Gozlan of HoopsHype (via Twitter).
