The Utah Jazz have signed Jerel McNeal on a 10-day contract.

McNeal had been playing for the Bakersfield Jam in the D-League.

"For me, it's just really exciting and just humbling to be able to come from where I just came from," McNeal said, "and today, this morning, be in an NBA locker room. It means a lot to me."

McNeal, a 6-foot-3, 200-pound guard out of Marquette, went undrafted in 2009.
