Ukrainian defender Svyatoslav Mikhailyuk will continue his career in the NBA.

Mikhailyuk signed a long-term contract with Utah Jazz. The player reportedly signed a four-season contract (the first year is $3.5 million guaranteed) worth $15 million.

After the Ukrainian left the Boston Celtics, several Euroleague clubs were interested in his candidacy. Real Madrid and Panathinaikos were preparing to start negotiations, and Olympiacos was also keeping an eye on the player.

Mykhailiuk played 49 games for the Celtics last season. In the playoff series, the Ukrainian averaged 1.0 points and 0.6 rebounds over eight games. Over the course of the season, the Ukrainian averaged 4.0 points, 1.2 rebounds, and 0.9 assists.

Together with Boston, the Ukrainian guard became the NBA champion for the first time in his career. Mykhailiuk became the second Ukrainian after Stanislav Medvedenko with the championship title in the most prestigious basketball club tournament in the world.
