Jazz To Sign Cody Zeller To Camp Contract

The Jazz are signing free agent center Cody Zeller ahead of training camp, per Shams Charania and Tony Jones of The Athletic.

Zeller, 29, is 6-foot-11 and appeared in 27 games with the Trail Blazers last season after spending the first eight years of his career with the Hornets.

He was waived in February as a result of the Blazers’ CJ McCollum trade with the Pelicans. With Portland, Zeller averaged 5.2 points and 4.6 rebounds.

“The Jazz have 17 guaranteed full contracts and need to cut that number to 15 by the beginning of the season,” wrote Brandon Judd of the Deseret News. “They had a two-way contract spot open after waiving Xavier Sneed last week.”

As we relayed here, the Jazz are also signing center Micah Potter to a two-way contract.
