The Magic have added another name to their preseason mix, signing 6-foot-8 forward Mike Sharavjamts on Monday.
It’s an Exhibit 10 deal, according to Jason Beede of The Orlando Sentinel, who reported that Sharavjamts will be waived later in the day. Orlando had an open spot on its 21-man preseason roster, so no corresponding move was needed.
If Sharavjamts spends at least 60 days with the Osceola Magic, Orlando’s G League affiliate, he’d be eligible for a bonus worth up to $91K on top of his base NBAGL salary.
Sharavjamts went undrafted in June after a college path that took him from Dayton to San Francisco, Utah and South Carolina. He first became a notable name in 2022, when he became the first Mongolian citizen to earn a Division I athletic scholarship in basketball by committing to Dayton. After his freshman year with the Flyers, he moved through the NCAA over the next three seasons before finishing with the Gamecocks in 2025/26.
As a senior at South Carolina, Sharavjamts averaged 10.9 points, 5.6 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 0.9 blocks per game while shooting .490 from the field, .341 from three and .876 at the line. He started all 32 games and logged 29.8 minutes per contest.
Toronto also made a couple of camp-related moves on Monday, signing Tyson Degenhart and waiving Andre Jackson Jr., according to Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca. Both players signed Exhibit 10 agreements.
Degenhart went undrafted out of Boise State last year, then signed an Exhibit 10 deal with the Raptors, was waived and spent 2025/26 with the Raptors 905. In 50 G League games, he put up 8.5 points and 3.0 rebounds per night while shooting .547/.389/.711 in 21.1 minutes per game.
Jackson had spent the previous three seasons on a standard contract with the Bucks before joining Toronto in August. The athletic wing was dealing with a hamstring injury during training camp.
Utah also made a move, signing Taylor Funk, according to the team. The former St. Joseph’s and Utah State standout has spent the past three years in the G League with the Maine Celtics, Capital City Go-Go and, most recently, the San Diego Clippers.
Last season with San Diego, the 6-foot-8 forward averaged 11.3 points, 4.5 rebounds and 2.2 assists in 41 games while shooting .431 from the floor, .391 from deep and .794 at the stripe. He almost certainly signed an Exhibit 10 deal.
And in Sacramento, the Kings waived training camp invitees Sean East II and Viktor Lakhin on Sunday, according to NBA.com’s transaction log.

John Stockton's Jazz Legacy Just Got Dragged Into A Brutal Debate
John Stocktons place in Jazz history came back into the spotlight this week after Shaquille ONeal weighed in on the Rushmore Podcast and argued that the Hall of Fame guard had it easier because he spent so much of his career alongside Karl Malone. The debate quickly turned into one of those old-school basketball arguments that never really go away, with ONeal framing it as a question of how much of a stars greatness comes from carrying a team versus thriving in a more supportive role.
Reggie Miller pushed back on that view, pointing to Stocktons resume and the standards he set for the position, including his standing as the leagues all-time leader in assists and steals. The conversation drifted into comparisons with players such as Scott Skiles and Dennis Rodman, but the larger tension is familiar for Jazz fans: how much credit belongs to Stockton for helping define an era, and how much of the national debate still gets shaped by the presence of Malone next to him.

Jazz Rotation Already Faces A Test With Markkanen Suddenly Sidelined
Lauri Markkanen had given the Jazz an encouraging opening look to preseason, staying healthy and pacing the team in scoring in the first exhibition. Now Utah has to pivot quickly. The club announced Markkanen will sit out its second preseason game against the Nuggets because of neck soreness, leaving the Jazz to shuffle a rotation that was already in evaluation mode.
His absence adds to a list of unavailable bodies that includes Kyle Filipowski, Jusuf Nurkic and Brice Sensabaugh, which means the Jazz will have to spread minutes differently and get a longer look at some of the other camp options. For a team still sorting out roles and combinations, even an early preseason tweak like this can change the feel of the night and offer a small but important test of depth. [Read more 🡒]
Jazz Preseason Loss Sparks Debate Over A Heated Jokic Moment
The Jazzs preseason meeting with Denver had the usual early-October feel until a chippy sequence between Nikola Jokic and Jaxson Hayes briefly took center stage. Utah fell 117-106, but the bigger conversation afterward was the physical exchange that followed Hayes shove of Jokic and the hard foul that came back the other way, with Jokic drawing a technical for shoving Hayes in response.
For Utah, it was the kind of moment that can linger longer than the final score in a preseason game. Fans quickly debated the officiating and the players conduct on social media, turning one heated possession into the nights main talking point and leaving the Jazz with an unwanted side story after an otherwise routine loss.
