Guard Raul Neto will reportedly become guaranteed to remain with the Utah Jazz for the rest of the season.
ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski reported Saturday morning that the Jazz will guarantee Neto's contract in advance of the Jan. 10 deadline to waive him. Essentially that deadline is Jan. 7, as it takes 48 hours for players to clear waivers and if teams were to not guarantee a non-guaranteed deal, players would have to have cleared waivers by Jan.
