SALT LAKE CITY — The Trey Lyles contract drama is about to come to an end.
Lyles is expected to sign his rookie contract with the Utah Jazz this afternoon, pending results of a scheduled routine physical with team physicians at the University of Utah Health Care, the Deseret News has been informed.
It's uncertain when Lyles will first play for the Jazz, but it's most likely it won't happen until at least Thursday. Utah, which beat Boston Monday, plays San Antonio tonight at 7 at EnergySolutions Arena.
Lyles, a versatile power forward, was held out of Jazz practices and missed the team's first summer league game Monday due to a delay in signing his deal.
