With his initial 10-day contract set to expire at midnight on March 6th a report from Sportando indicates that the Utah Jazz will re-up Cotton for a second 10-day contract. Cotton only played in 1 game with the Jazz during the first 10 days and that was in a blowout win over Denver. In total he amassed 3 points, 2 rebounds, 1 assists and 1 steal in 6.9 minutes.
With Cotton signing his second 10-day deal the Jazz will have to sign him for the rest of the season if they want to keep him beyond this deal. Worst case scenario Cotton gets another 10 days practicing with an NBA club and another $29,843.
