The Jazz have signed forward Justin Lewis, according to a team press release. It’s an Exhibit 10 contract, as Lewis will be waived and then rejoin the Salt Lake City Stars, Andy Larsen of the Salt Lake City Tribune tweets.
Lewis appeared in 29 NBA G League regular season games during the 2023/24 season for the Stars, averaging 5.2 points and 3.2 rebounds in 14.3 minutes per contest. Lewis previously spent portions of the 2022/23 and 2023/24 seasons on a two-way contract with the Bulls. Chicago waived him in December.
The Baltimore native played two collegiate seasons at Marquette (2020-22).
Lewis will be eligible of a bonus worth up to $77.5K if he spends at least 60 days with the Stars.
Some of these guys just need an opportunity. Still need more teams in the NBA though.
Yea imo only 2 extra teams isn’t enough. It may be a good idea for nba to launch a new USA league with only like 6 teams that plays in the offseason like the xfl just for the best of the best free agents and pays more than the g league. Idk how that would all work tho
They used to have the ABA and NBA but I doubt they’d want to do something like that again.
They do have several cities already in mind for expansion. I just hope they don’t do a Euro team. Travel would be too long.
