Before signing the contract, the Marshall product played for the Jazz during the Salt Lake City and Las Vegas Summer leagues.
At Marshall, Kinsey averaged 17.1 points and 4.9 rebounds over five seasons before going undrafted in 2023.
The wing signed a 10-day contract for the Jazz late in the 2023-24 campaign but never saw the floor during the regular season.
The Jazz now have an open two-way contract on the roster.
Jason Preston and Micah Potter also fill two-way roster spots on the team.
