Salt Lake City, UT (Sports Network) - The Utah Jazz have signed guard Sundiata Gaines to a contract for the rest of the season.
Gaines signed his first 10-day deal with the Jazz on January 5, then won a game against Cleveland on January 14 with a three-pointer at the buzzer and was signed to a second 10-day contract the next day.
In seven games for the Jazz this season, Gaines is averaging 2.9 points and 1.1 assists. The rookie from Georgia scored a career-best nine points in the game against the Cavaliers after Deron Williams left the contest with an injury.
