Jonas Jerebko Reportedly Plans to Sign with Warriors After Jazz Waived PF
Forward Jonas Jerebko reportedly plans to sign with the Golden State Warriors on Monday when he clears waivers, according to ESPN.com's Adrian Wojnarowski.
Jerebko was waived by the Utah Jazz on Saturday.
Per Wojnarowski, if Jerebko were to be claimed off waivers, he would have to be paid a guaranteed salary of $4.2 million.
The 31-year-old veteran averaged 5.8 points and 3.3 rebounds per game while shooting 46.6 percent from the field and 41.4 percent from three-point range in 74 games with the Jazz last season.
Jerebko also made 19 starts, which was his highest total since he started 73 games as a rookie with the Detroit Pistons in 2009-10. The veteran from Sweden entered the NBA as a second-round pick of Detroit in 2009.
Jerebko's rookie campaign was the best of his career, as he averaged 9.3 points and 6.0 rebounds per game. Since missing his second season with a torn Achilles, Jerebko has largely served in a lesser role.
After spending five-plus seasons with the Pistons, Jerebko was traded to the Boston Celtics during the 2014-15 season. He signed a two-year deal with the Jazz last July but played out only half that contract.
