Jazz Johnson returning to Nevada

Nevada senior guard Jazz Johnson will be staying in the silver and blue.

Johnson announced he will return to to the Wolf Pack in a press conference with local media on Friday. He averaged 11.0 points on a team-leading 45.2 shooting from behind the arc.

“I’m gonna stay with the pack,” Johnson announced. “The community here loves me and I love them. And after a lot of long talks with my parents… we came to the conclusion that this is the best place for me.”

The hiring of head coach Steve Alford had positive implications on Johnson’s career going forward.
