Johnny Juzang Signs With Zenit BC

Juzang’s deal with the Saint Petersburg-based club covers the rest of the 2025/26 season (hat tip to Sportando).

A Los Angeles native who played three years of college ball (one at Kentucky and two at UCLA), Juzang went undrafted in 2022. He spent his first two NBA seasons on two-way contracts with Utah prior to signing a multiyear standard contract with the Jazz in August 2024.

Only the first season of Juzang’s contract with the Jazz was guaranteed, and he was cut in June 2025. He wound up signing an Exhibit 10 deal with Minnesota for training camp and was elevated to a two-way contract after impressing during the preseason this past fall.

The Wolves released Juzang after he reached his 50-game active limit. The 24-year-old only actually saw action in 21 of those contests and was a DNP-CD in the other 29. Juzang played more than 10 minutes just once in 2025/26 and logged 88 minutes in total, rarely playing outside of garbage time.

Juzang appeared in 123 games (16.0 minutes per contest) over four NBA seasons, averaging 6.9 points and 2.2 rebounds on .421/.358/.785 shooting splits. This is his first international stint.
