Justice, 24, also played for the Jazz in the Vegas Summer League where he averaged 7.0 points, 2.8 rebounds, and 1.3 assists in four appearances.
The forward went unselected in the 2023 NBA Draft after five seasons at Santa Clara where he averaged 11.3 points and 4.4 rebounds before.
Signing Justice ahead of training camp will allow the team to waive the second-year veteran while retaining his G League rights.
