FREE AGENCY TRACKER: Bojan Bogdanovic To Leave Pacers, Sign With Jazz

The buzz started to build around the Utah Jazz earlier Sunday, and as soon as meetings began to be announced, reports indicated that it was for good reason: ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski relayed that the Utah Jazz have agreed to a four-year, $73 million deal with swingman Bojan Bogdanovic.

The 6-foot-8 Croatian, originally drafted by the Brooklyn Nets – in 2011, two years ahead of his NBA arrival – spent the last two seasons with the Indiana Pacers. When Victor Oladipo went down with a knee injury in January, Bogdanovic took over as the primary option for Indiana, while continuing to provide solid defense on the other end. He finished the year averaging 18.0 points, 4.1 rebounds and 2.0 assists while shooting 42.5 percent from 3-point range and 49.7 percent overall.

Bogdanovic joins an up-and-coming Jazz team that includes Donovan Mitchell, Rudy Gobert, Joe Ingles and (once Utah’s reported trade with Memphis is complete) Mike Conley.
