The organization of Utah has won the choice of the second round of the future against the 30-year-old basketball player, but together with Feivors, the Jazz gave the Thunder the choice of the first round of the future. With this deal, Jazz gained financial relief, saving $ 13 million.
Feivors has spent most of his career in the NBA right at Jazz. From 2011 to 2019, as well as last season. He has also been to the Nets of New Jersey and the Pelicans of New Orleans. Last season, he played in 68 matches in the regular tournament, averaging 5.4 points, 5.5 rebounds and one block shot. Meanwhile, he played 3.4 points and 4.2 balls under the baskets in 11 play-offs.
In November 2020, the basketball player signed a three-year contract with Jazz for 27 million US dollars. Last season, Jazz withdrew from the second round of the Western Conference Play-Off, when the Los Angeles Clippers lost 2-4.
