Kira Lewis Jr.

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 Kira Lewis Jr.: what he did on the floor, a few things most people never knew, and every card that carries his name. If you have a better example of his signature, or a story about it, the note at the foot of this page still stands.

Lewis graduated from Alabama's Hazel Green High School a year early and, at 17, was the youngest player to appear in a Division I game when he suited up for the Crimson Tide. By his sophomore year he was first-team All-SEC with Alabama's first triple-double since 1996, and New Orleans drafted him 13th in 2020. A torn ACL in December 2021 stalled his rise, and in February 2024 he landed with the Jazz in the trade that sent Kelly Olynyk to Toronto.

He won U19 World Cup gold with the United States in 2019. Since Utah he has kept grinding through the G League, with Capital City, the Wisconsin Herd and, from 2026, the Memphis Hustle.

HOW HE CAME & WENTHe came to Utah with Otto Porter Jr. and a 2024 first-round pick in the February 2024 trade for Kelly Olynyk and Ochai Agbaji, and was gone by that September, signing with Washington.
