Damian Jones

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 Damian Jones: 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.

A Vanderbilt center taken 30th by Golden State in 2016, he collected two championship rings as a young reserve on the 2017 and 2018 Warriors, then settled into the life of a traveling big man. Utah acquired him at the February 2023 trade deadline and he finished the season with 19 games for the Jazz.

Basketball has since carried him from Cleveland to leagues overseas, most recently in Puerto Rico with the Vaqueros de Bayamon — a decade as a professional built on the frame that once blocked 167 shots at Vanderbilt.

HOW HE CAME & WENTHe arrived on February 9, 2023 in the three-team deal that sent Russell Westbrook to Utah, picked up his player option to stay, and was traded to Cleveland on July 8, 2023.
