Another former Cyclone basketball star has signed a new deal with the Utah Jazz.
Naz Mitrou-Long signed a two-way deal with the Jazz on Saturday, according to Yahoo’s Shams Charania.
Mitrou-Long averaged 18 points, 6.1 rebounds, 4.6 assists and 1.2 steals per contest in 40 appearances for the Salt Lake City Stars, the G-League affiliate of the Jazz.
As part of the two-way deal, Mitrou-Long will likely spend a lot of time with the Stars this upcoming season, as two-way-designated players can only be with the NBA team they’re signed to for 45 days over the course of the season.
Mitrou-Long signing with the Jazz reunites him with former Cyclone teammate Georges Niang, who himself signed a multi-year contract with the Jazz on Friday.
Two former Iowa State basketball players have now signed two-way contracts this offseason, with Mitrou-Long joining Deonte Burton, who signed a two-way deal with the Oklahoma City Thunder on July 7.
