Restricted free agent swingman Gordon Hayward will return to the Utah jazz after the offer sheet he signed with the Charlotte Hornets was matched.
“But it’s always a wonderful thing when your own organization values you so much that they’d match a contract like this said Mark Bartelstein, Hayward’s agent. I think it makes a great statement to Gordon about how they feel about him and value him.”
Officially back with the @utahjazz!!!! Wanna thank them and all of #jazznation for believing in me! Lots of work ahead…
