Free agent forward/guard Josh Okogie has agreed to a two-year, $12 million deal with the Utah Jazz, according to reports from ESPN. The agreement brings the veteran wing defender to Utah as the franchise continues to shape its roster during the free agency period.
Okogie spent last season with the Houston Rockets, where he established himself as a reliable perimeter threat. According to ESPN, he shot 38.5% from three-point range last season while maintaining his reputation as a high-level defender. The report indicates that Okogie considered several suitors before his representation reached a commitment with the Jazz tonight.
The move provides the Utah Jazz with a versatile defender capable of guarding multiple positions. Okogie's blend of defensive intensity and improved outside shooting makes him a key addition to the team's rotation for the upcoming season.
