The Jazz have signed free agent forward Andersson Garcia to a 10-day contract, the team announced in a press release.
A native of the Dominican Republic, Garcia went undrafted in 2025 out of Texas A&M. He played five years of college basketball — two with Mississippi State and his final three with the Aggies.
As a reserve for Texas A&M in 2023/24, Garcia led the SEC in rebounds per game (9.1) en route to a spot on the conference’s All-Defense team. He averaged 6.0 points, 7.7 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.1 steals on .518/.403/.702 shooting over his final two seasons with the Aggies (26.5 MPG).
Garcia has spent this season with the Mexico City Capitanes, the lone independent team in the NBA G League. In 35 combined games (25.3 MPG) in 2025/26, the 25-year-old has averaged 10.9 PPG, 9.8 RPG, 2.0 APG and 1.4 SPG on .547/.267/.691 shooting.
Garcia will be eligible to play up to five games with the Jazz and will earn $73,153 during his 10 days with the team. His contract runs through March 20.
The Jazz had an opening on their standard roster and didn’t need to waive anyone to sign Garcia.
Who??????
73k and getting to play in the NBA. Man this league is getting watered down by all the tanking. We got to kill this, it’s going to catch up to the NBA if they don’t stop this.
Young man make the most of this opportunity. You could possibly get a two-way out of this for next year making 636k. Two-Way contracts is over a million dollars and enough to walk into your adult life pretty well taking care of. You still will have to work but life will be good
