The Atlanta Hawks announced Thursday the signing of forward Jeremy Evans and rookie guard Jordan Mathews.

The terms of Evans and Mathews’ agreements were not disclosed.

Evans, 6-foot-9, played last season with Khimki in Russia after spending the 2015-2016 season with the Dallas Mavericks and the first five seasons of his NBA career with the Utah Jazz.

Evans was drafted by the Jazz out of Western Kentucky in the second round of the 2010 NBA Draft.

He will wear No. 22 for the Hawks.

Mathews spent his senior season at Gonzaga after three seasons at California. Mathews averaged 10.6 points, 3.3 rebounds and 1.5 assists during Gonzaga’s Final Four run.
