Utah Jazz Sign Matthew Murrell to Exhibit-10 Contract

The Utah Jazz have officially signed Matthew Murrell, a player who previously showcased his talents with the Salt Lake City Stars. This signing is expected to be an Exhibit-10 contract, which is often used to bring players into training camps.

Murrell, who gained attention during the 2022 NBA draft, did not get selected but made a notable impact during the 2025-2026 season with the Stars. Despite facing challenges with efficiency, he left a positive impression on the team's management and coaching staff.

Standing at 6'4" and weighing 200 pounds, Murrell possesses an athletic build complemented by a 6'8.25" wingspan and an impressive 40-inch vertical leap. His shooting form has been recognized as aesthetically pleasing, yet his performance has varied significantly, raising questions about his long-range consistency.

Throughout his career, Murrell's shooting has been streaky. While he shot 40% from three-point range in 2024, his efficiency dropped in 2025. In the G-League, he recorded 39% during the tip-off tournament but fell to 28% for the season overall. His success in the NBA may hinge on improving his shooting percentages to the mid-to-high 30s.

As he prepares for the upcoming season, Murrell is likely to return to the Salt Lake City Stars, where he will have the opportunity to demonstrate his shooting capabilities. The Jazz's decision to sign him reflects a strategic, low-risk move to evaluate his potential as a valuable role player.
