SALT LAKE CITY (AP) -- The Utah Jazz have signed free-agent center Francisco Elson.
The Jazz are adding the 7-foot, 240-pound veteran as starter Mehmet Okur recovers from a ruptured Achilles' tendon. Okur was injured in Utah's playoff opener at Denver and may not be available for training camp and the preseason.
General manager Kevin O'Connor announced the deal Wednesday in a statement. Terms were not disclosed.
Elson has averaged 3.9 points and 3.8 rebounds in seven NBA seasons.
