SALT LAKE CITY (release courtesy of Utah Jazz) – The Utah Jazz announced on Tuesday that the team has signed guard Justin Wright-Foreman to a two-way contract. Per team policy, terms of the deals were not released.
 
Wright-Foreman (6-2, 190, Hofstra) was drafted by the Jazz in the second round of the 2019 NBA Draft (53rd overall). He appeared in two games during the Salt Lake City Summer League, averaging 13.0 points, 3.5 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.0 rebounds, also competing in two games at the Las Vegas Summer League where he posted averages of 10.5 points, 3.0 assists and 1.5 steals per game.
 
The Queens, N.Y. native appeared in 125 games (82 starts) during his collegiate career with Hofstra. A back-to-back Colonial Athletic Association Player of the Year in 2017-18 and 2018-19, Wright-Foreman ranked second in the nation in points per game (27.1) and field goals (330), while leading the CAA in minutes played (1,321), three-point field goals made (110) and three-point percentage (.425). Garnering an All-American Honorable Mention nod by the Associated Press for the second-consecutive season, Wright-Foreman became just the fourth player in program history to accomplish that feat. He was also named as a finalist for the Jerry West Shooting Guard of the Year Award this past season.
 
Wright-Foreman will wear no. 3 for the Jazz.

Beginning in the 2017 offseason, NBA rosters expanded from 15 to 17 players with the addition of two spots for players under "Two-Way Contracts."

NBA teams may have up to two players under NBA Two-Way Contracts who will spend the bulk of the season in the NBA G League and not more than 45 days with their NBA team. Two-Way players are paid a corresponding daily amount based on the number of days they play in each league. Only players in their fourth NBA season or earlier are able to sign Two-Way Contracts, which can be for either one or two seasons.
