What happened: Free agent forward-guard Josh Okogie has agreed to a two-year, $12 million contract with the Utah Jazz, according to ESPN's Shams Charania. Okogie, a wing defender, chose the Jazz after weighing interest from several other suitors before committing.

Why it matters: Okogie gives the Jazz a perimeter defender who can space the floor, addressing a clear need on the wing as Utah continues to reshape its roster this offseason. The two-year term offers cost-controlled depth without locking up long-term flexibility heading into the 2026-27 season.

By the numbers: Okogie shot 38.5% from three last season, his most recent stop coming before he reached free agency. The agreement is a two-year deal worth $12 million.

What to watch: Watch for how Okogie fits into Utah's wing rotation and whether the Jazz make additional moves to round out the roster before training camp.
