Veteran Utah Jazz Guard Jordan Clarkson Exercises Contract Option To Stay With Team

Jordan Clarkson decided to remain with the Utah Jazz next season by activating his $14.3 million player option for 2023-24.
Though the Jazz are rebuilding their roster, Clarkson chose job security and familiarity over potentially higher pay in free agency.
Clarkson has been an important part of Utah's success in recent years, even winning Sixth Man of the Year in 2020-21.
The Jazz will likely give more playing time to rookie Ochai Agbaji but will still rely heavily on Clarkson next season.
Clarkson's decision provides continuity for Utah during a transitional period.
