Here are the ESPN.com Articles on Former Nuggets Player Francisco Elson and Former Nuggets Player Malik Allen signing with different teams:

Jazz sign C Francisco Elson

SALT LAKE CITY -- The Utah Jazz have signed free-agent center Francisco Elson.

The Jazz are adding the 7-foot, 240-pound veteran as starter Mehmet Okur recovers from a ruptured Achilles tendon. Okur was injured in Utah's playoff opener at Denver, and might not be available for training camp and the preseason.

General manager Kevin O'Connor announced the deal Wednesday in a statement. Terms were not disclosed.

Elson has averaged 3.9 points and 3.8 rebounds per game in seven NBA seasons.

Free agent Malik Allen signs with Magic

ORLANDO, Fla. -- The Orlando Magic have signed free-agent forward Malik Allen, bringing their training camp roster to 15 players.

The Magic announced the signing Thursday.

The 32-year-old Allen played 51 games for the Denver Nuggets last season. He has averaged five points and nearly three rebounds per game in nine NBA seasons.

Orlando already has several forwards who play heavy minutes, including Rashard Lewis, Brandon Bass and Ryan Anderson. So Allen will likely play a limited role should he make the final roster.

The Magic begin training camp Sept. 28.
