The Utah Jazz reportedly has agreed to terms with forward Jeremy Evans.

Evans will receive a three-year, $5.5 million contract, according to the Salt Lake Tribune.

NBA free agents are in the negotiating period until July 11, when they can begin signing contracts.

The 6-9 Evans, who was the 55th overall draft pick in 2010, gained fame by winning the NBA slam dunk contest in February.

Last season, he played 29 games last season, averaging 2.1 points a game in 7.5 minutes.
