Chris Johnson

One collector is trying to find a single signature from every man who ever played for the Jazz — all 370 of them, from the 1974 New Orleans team to today. For many of them, this page is the only one on the internet. Here is Chris Johnson: what he did on the floor, a few things most people never knew, and every card that carries his name. If you own something he signed — or you know who might — there is a note at the foot of this page.

Dayton's co-MVP as a senior, Johnson scratched out his NBA years the hard way — undrafted in 2012, then 10-day contracts with Memphis and Boston between D-League tours with Rio Grande Valley. Utah gave him his longest run: 82 games across two seasons, including his first full NBA campaign in 2015–16.

Overseas he became a fixture. He earned a Pro A monthly MVP award in France with Gravelines-Dunkerque, won the 2019 Israeli State Cup with Hapoel Jerusalem, and kept a steady career going in Israel and France well into his thirties. A 2025 deal with Élan Chalon fell through when a medical exam found a health problem, and he retired in April 2026.

HOW HE CAME & WENTHe came in on a 10-day contract on January 28, 2015, was let go when it expired, and returned that March on a multi-year deal for his first full NBA season. Utah waived him on October 22, 2016 to cut the roster to the 15-man limit.
