It\u2019s possible he simply accepted that offer, which is the equivalent of a one-year, two-way contract with a partial guarantee worth $85,300.<\/p>\n<p>After going undrafted in 2023, Tshiebwe spent his rookie season on a two-way contract with the Pacers and his second year in the NBA on a two-way deal with the Jazz. The 6\u20198\u2033 forward\/center has only made 22 total appearances at the NBA level across those two seasons, but has shown his rebounding prowess in limited action, averaging 7.6 points and 8.7 rebounds in 18.2 minutes per game across 14 outings for Utah in 2024\/25.<\/p>\n<p>Tshiebwe, who grabbed double-digit rebounds in eight of the 10 games he played for the Jazz in past March and April, has put up monster numbers in the G League \u2014 he <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hoopsrumors.com\/2025\/04\/2024-25-all-nba-g-league-teams-announced.html\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">earned a spot<\/a> on the All-NBAGL first team and placed second in <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hoopsrumors.com\/2025\/04\/celtics-jd-davison-named-g-league-mvp.html\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">MVP voting<\/a> this spring after averaging 16.1 points, a league-leading 18.2 rebounds, 2.8 assists, and 1.8 steals per contest in 42 games for the Salt Lake City Stars.<\/p>\n<p>Tshiebwe racked up at least 20 boards in seven of the last nine games of his G League season in March. In one matchup with the Iowa Wolves during that stretch, he grabbed 30 rebounds, including 14 on the offensive glass.<\/p>\n<p>It remains to be seen whether Tshiebwe will be utilized more frequently by Jazz head coach Will Hardy in 2025\/26, but he\u2019ll be eligible to appear in up to 50 NBA regular season games on his two-way deal, which will pay him $636,435 if it becomes fully guaranteed.<\/p>\n<p>Tshiebwe and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.basketball-reference.com\/players\/h\/harklej01.html?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=www.hoopsrumors.com&amp;utm_campaign=2025-08-19_bbr\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Elijah Harkless<\/a> now occupy two of the Jazz\u2019s three <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hoopsrumors.com\/2025\/07\/2025-26-nba-two-way-contract-tracker.html\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">two-way slots<\/a>, with second-round pick <a href=\"https:\/\/www.basketball-reference.com\/players\/t\/tonjejo01.html?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=www.hoopsrumors.com&amp;utm_campaign=2025-08-19_bbr\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">John Tonje<\/a> viewed as the frontrunner to fill the final opening.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Former Kentucky standout Oscar Tshiebwe is back under contract with the Jazz, having re-signed with the team on&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":239817,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3785],"tags":[7,423,6,2460,422,427,3972],"class_list":{"0":"post-239816","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-utah-jazz","8":"tag-basketball","9":"tag-jazz","10":"tag-nba","11":"tag-oscar-tshiebwe","12":"tag-utah","13":"tag-utah-jazz","14":"tag-utahjazz"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nba\/115056732114276735","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/239816","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=239816"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/239816\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/239817"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=239816"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=239816"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=239816"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
