The Jazz signed Tshiebwe to a two-way deal Monday, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
After waiving Taevion Kinsey on Monday, the Jazz utilized their last two-way spot to sign Tshiebwe. The 24-year-old spent the 2023-24 campaign on a two-way deal with the Pacers, and he averaged 16.2 points, 16.1 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 0.9 steals and 0.9 blocks across 27.2 minutes in 23 regular-season games with the club's G League affiliate, the Fort Wayne Mad Ants.

Tshiebwe will be available for Wednesday's game against the Raptors.
EDGE Analysis

Tshiebwe is available for Sunday's game against the Grizzlies.
EDGE Analysis
The two-way player is back from a stint in the G League with the Indiana Mad Ants on Sunday and will be active as a depth option at center with starter Myles Turner (back) unavailable. Jalen Smith will garner the starting nod in Turner's stead, while Isaiah Jackson is likely to serve as Smith's top backup. As a result, Tshiebwe is unlikely to be included in head coach Rick Carlisle's rotation.

Tshiebwe finished Wednesday's 140-126 loss to the Bucks with one point (0-1 FG, 1-2 FT) and one rebound across six minutes.
EDGE Analysis
Tshiebwe played six minutes Wednesday, making his professional debut. There is nothing to see here from a fantasy perspective, quite clearly. It's great to see some new blood in the league but he would need a numbers players ahead of him in the rotation to miss time to have any chance at playing a meaningful role in the rotation.

The Pacers will recall Tshiebwe from the G League's Indiana Mad Ants ahead of Thursday's game in Miami, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Starreports.
EDGE Analysis
Jalen Smith suffered a knee bruise Monday and will miss some time, so the Pacers will bring Tshiebwe -- one of their three two-way players -- up to provide additional depth at center. Tshiebwe has put up strong numbers in the G League (19.7 points, 18.5 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 1.0 steals in 29.4 minutes per game over six appearances), but he may not get an immediate look in the NBA rotation. Instead, Isaiah Jackson will likely be first in line to pick up Smith's minutes as the top backup to starting center Myles Turner.
