SALT LAKE CITY (February 2, 2025) – The Salt Lake City Stars, the official NBA G League affiliate of the Utah Jazz, have acquired the player rights to forward Jaedon LeDee from the Iowa Wolves (Minnesota Timberwolves affiliate) in exchange for the rights to forward Babacar Sane.  

LeDee (6-7, 242, San Diego State) joins Salt Lake City after playing 30 games (four starts) with Iowa during the Tip-Off Tournament and the regular season. He averaged 6.9 points on 46.1 percent shooting, 5.3 rebounds, and 0.4 steals in 17.5 minutes per game. The G League rookie recently scored a career-high 19 points on Jan. 15 against the Greensboro Swarm (Charlotte Hornets affiliate), hitting seven field goals in a personal-best 43:15 minutes.

A Houston native, LeDee played 154 games (43 starts) during his collegiate career at Ohio State (2018-19), TCU (2019-21), and San Diego State (2022-24).

In his final season, LeDee averaged 21.4 points, 8.4 rebounds, and 1.3 assists per game, earning the 2024 Karl Malone Award as the nation’s best power forward.
