"So grateful for the opportunity!" Lewis wrote Tuesday on Twitter, accompanied by a photo of him signing a contract.

Terms of the deal were not publicly announced, but the Salt Lake Tribune's Andy Larsen reported in a Tweet that Lewis was signed to a training camp contract, meaning the Jazz can waive him and send him to play for the team's NBA G-League affiliate.

Lewis, who played for Louisville in 2015-16 as a graduate transfer, went undrafted in the 2016 NBA Draft and spent last season playing professionally in France and Germany.

In his one season at Louisville, Lewis helped the Cards to a 23-8 record while averaging 11.3 points, 3.4 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.0 steals per game.
