Utah Jazz have reportedly agreed for a deal for Milwaukee Bucks’ g-league affiliate’s guard Rayjon Tucker. They are also reported to have waived veteran Jeff Green to make room for Tucker in their roster.

Green, 33, hasn’t been satisfactory this season. He averaged 7.8 points and 2.8 rebounds over the 29 games that he played this season for the Jazz. He signed a one-year, $2.56 million contract back in June, and is now seeing is way out in the middle of it.

Adrian Wojanrowski of ESPN reported that the deal is done, but an official announcement is yet to be made. The reports suggested that Tucker will get at least a guaranteed deal for the rest of the season.

Tucker is a 22-year old forward playing from Charlotte. He played two seasons of college basketball with the Florida Gulf Coast and then a season for Little Rock. In the 2019 pre season, he entered the NBA draft, but went undrafted. He then played for Bucks’ NBA summer league team and was later assigned to their g-league affiliate Wisconsin Herd.

He had impressed many playing in the g-league. Wisconsin coach Chase Buford has held high regards for the 22-year old and quoting him as a man with “great work ethic” and an “exciting prospect.” Milwaukee were in fact reported to have wanted to keep Tucker, but he is now almost gone.

Utah already acquired a Clarkson-

Earlier, Utah acquired Jordan Clarkson from Cleveland Cavaliers. A while after a pre-season of  some crazy trade deals, NBA is back with another trade news. It was the first deal after Russell Westbrook and Chris Paul were exchanged on July 11.

Utah might be looking to fill in rotation players in what is expected to be a long season.
