Overview
- The move is listed on NBA.com’s official transaction log for August 19, confirming Tshiebwe’s return on a two-way contract.
- He dominated with the Salt Lake City Stars, earning All-NBA G League First Team honors and setting records for most 20-20 games in a season (eight) and most offensive rebounds in a season (305).
- In 14 NBA appearances for Utah last season, he averaged 7.6 points on 60% shooting with 8.7 rebounds in 18.2 minutes, including eight games with double-digit boards.
- Under two-way rules he can appear in up to 50 regular-season games for the Jazz, with Hoops Rumors reporting the deal could pay $636,435 if fully guaranteed.
- Utah previously issued a two-way qualifying offer in June to make him a restricted free agent, and reporting suggests he may have accepted that offer as he takes one of the Jazz’s two-way slots alongside Elijah Harkless, with John Tonje viewed as the frontrunner for the remaining opening.
