There will be a Stockton playing point guard for the Utah Jazz.

In 2018.

The Jazz plan to sign David Stockton, the son of Hall of Famer John Stockton, to a 10-day contract, league sources tell The Salt Lake Tribune. Stockton had been playing in the G-League for the Reno Big Horns.

The signing coincides with a potential injury issue for starting point guard Ricky Rubio, who is listed as questionable for Saturday night’s matchup against the Sacramento Kings with a knee contusion. If Rubio doesn’t play, Dante Exum likely becomes Utah’s starting point guard for a night in just his second game back from injury.

The 6-foot Stockton played at Gonzaga, where he followed in his father’s footsteps. He has previous NBA experience with the Sacramento Kings and has played extensively overseas and in the G-League.

Utah is 39-30 this season and won 20 of their last 22 games.
