SALT LAKE CITY (AP) The Utah Jazz have announced they acquired point guard Shelvin Mack from Atlanta in a three-team deal including the Chicago Bulls. The Bulls receive a second-round pick from the Jazz and guard Justin Holliday from the Hawks. Atlanta receives guard Kirk Hinrich from the Bulls.

Mack averaged 3.9 points, 1.6 assists and 7.5 minutes in 24 games this season. The 25-year-old is shooting 42.1 percent from the field and a career-low 14.8 percent from 3-point range in his fifth season. He's under contract through the 2016-17 season with the final year not guaranteed, according to Basketball-Reference.com.

The Jazz have been in the market for point guard depth since Dante Exum tore his ACL during the summer.
