D-League Utah Flash now affiliated with Utah Jazz, Atlanta Hawks

The NBA today announced that the Jazz will share their NBA Development League affiliate, the Orem-based Utah Flash, with the Atlanta Hawks.

The Jazz most recently shared the Flash with the Boston Celtics, who now will be affiliated with the expansion Maine Red Claws.

Atlanta previously shared the Anaheim Arsenal with the Los Angeles Clippers, but the Arsenal are being relocated to Springfield, Mass., next season.

Jazz big men Kosta Koufos and Kyrylo Fesenko both spent time with the Flash last season.

So did shooting guard Morris Almond, a soon-to-be unrestricted who is not expected to be re-signed by the Jazz this offseason.
