The Jazz signed Mohammed Wahethe team announced in a press release.
A Bronx native who began his college career playing juco ball at Pennsylvania, Waugh had relatively modest roles at West Virginia, Alabama and Oklahoma from 2022-25. However, the 6’10” forward/center was the main starter for the Sooners last season, averaging 6.9 points, 6.8 rebounds and 1.5 blocks in 22.4 minutes per game.
Wage went undrafted in June, making him an unrestricted free agent.
Although the terms of the deal were not disclosed, Wague almost certainly signed a non-guaranteed contract that contains the wording of Addendum 10. If Wague is waived before the start of the season, he will be eligible for a bonus of up to $91,000 if he spends at least 60 days with the Salt Lake City Stars, the Jazz’s G League affiliate.
Utah had an opening on its 21-man preseason roster, so no matching moves were necessary to sign Wague.
