Utah Jazz 2008 second-round draft pick Ante Tomic has re-signed with European basketball club Barcelona.
The Jazz still own the NBA rights to the Croatian center, but by the time this latest contract is up, in 2018, Tomic will be 31.
“I am very happy to have renewed my contract," Tomic said in a team news release, "and am grateful to the people at Barca for their support and for offering me this new opportunity.”
Tomic averaged 11.5 points, 7.1 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 0.4 blocks as starting center for the Spanish powerhouse.
The Jazz also own the rights to Tomic's backup, Tibor Pleiss, which they acquired in the Enes Kanter trade.
