The Toronto Raptors have traded veteran forward Steve Novak to the Utah Jazz, according to Yahoo Sports’ Adrian Wojnarowski.

Toronto will also send a future second-round draft pick to Utah for taking on Novak and the two years and $7.2 million left on his contract. Utah will send the Raptors guard Diante Garrett, who is expected to be waived.

Novak played in 54 games for the Raptors last season, averaging 3.3 points per game.

The 31-year-old three-point specialist shot 42.6 percent beyond the arc in his lone season with Toronto.
