After working out for the Denver Nuggets earlier this week, BYU forward Gideon George will participate in an NBA draft workout for the Utah Jazz on Sunday.

After the season, George entered the transfer portal, but withdrew his name in April, signaling a return to BYU if he does not enter the draft.

George can participate in NBA draft workouts until June 1. June 1 is the deadline to withdraw from the NBA draft and preserve NCAA eligibility.

The Jazz currently do not have a pick in the 2022 draft, though a trade could change that.
