The Utah Jazz are beefing up their backcourt.
According to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski, Utah has acquired guard Jordan Clarkson from the Cleveland Cavaliers in exchange for former lottery pick Dante Exum and two second-round selections—a 2022 (via San Antonio) and 2023 (via Golden State).
Entering Monday night, the 18-11 Jazz have won five straight games, but their bench has struggled throughout the season. Mike Conley is also dealing with an aggravated hamstring injury, in what is statistically one of his worst seasons as a pro.
Clarkson had been averaging 14.6 points and 2.4 assists on 42% shooting from the field in only 23 minutes of action off Cleveland's bench.
