Former Virginia point guard Kihei Clark was signed to the NBA Summer League roster of the Utah Jazz, as reported by The Athletic's Tony Jones on Thursday night. 

In his final season at Virginia, Clark averaged 10.7 points, 5.4 assists, 2.6 rebounds, and 1.0 steal per game and shot 35.2% from three-point range. He ranked second in the ACC in both assists and assist/turnover ratio was was an All-ACC Third Team and ACC All-Defensive Team selection in 2022-2023. Clark ended his decorated five-year collegiate career as a four-time All-ACC selection, the Atlantic Coast Conference's all-time leader in conference wins and minutes played, and Virginia's all-time leader in wins, games, starts, and assists. 

Clark participated in four pre-draft workouts with the Los Angeles Lakers, Washington Wizards, Atlanta Hawks, and Charlotte Hornets, but it appears that he will play for the Utah Jazz during the two-week NBA Summer League that runs from July 3rd through July 17th. 

The Jazz will host the Salt Lake City Summer League to open things up from July 3-6:

Salt Lake City Summer League
July 3rd at 9pm ET: Utah Jazz vs. Oklahoma City Thunder
July 5th at 9pm ET: Utah Jazz vs. Philadelphia 76ers
July 6th at 9pm ET: Utah Jazz vs. Memphis Grizzlies

After the Salt Lake City Summer League, each of the 30 NBA teams will participate in the NBA 2K24 Summer League from July 7-17 in Las Vegas. The complete game schedule for the NBA 2K24 Summer League will be announced at a later date.
