Jazz to sign player

The Utah Jazz called a press conference for 3 p.m. Thursday afternoon, and rumor has it they planned to announce the signing of a player.

A team spokesman declined to divulge the reason for the press conference, but a source said it would not involve the re-signing of a player from last season's roster.

That disclosure might be an indication that the signee is Matt Harpring. A free-agent forward who played last season with Philadelphia, Harpring reportedly was seen at a Salt Lake restaurant Wednesday night.

Jazz personnel chief Kevin O'Connor met with Harpring and the player's agent in Atlanta recently.

If Harpring—or another player — is signed, it could be an indication from the Jazz that they've given up any hope of re-signing forward Donyell Marshall.
