Who did the Jazz buyout?

ESPN's Shams Charania announced Monday afternoon that the Jazz would be finalizing a contract buyout with guard Jordan Clarkson.

Clarkson was entering the final year of his contract, where he was set to be paid around $14.3 million.

Shams reported that "Clarkson will target contending teams for his new home -- with interest from multiple playoff teams already expected."

He won the 6MOY award with the Jazz back in the 2020-21 season.

Clarkson has playoff experience and even NBA Finals experience from the 2018 NBA Finals with Cleveland.
