Evan Turner revived his career with the Celtics the past two years and is now drawing plenty of interest around the league as free agency opens.
The unrestricted free agent averaged 10.5 points, 4.9 rebounds and 4.4 assists as a sixth man last season with Boston. The Sporting News reports that the Knicks, Lakers, Bulls, Pelicans, Mavericks and Grizzlies are looking to bid for Turner.
Turner earlier expressed an interest in returning to the Celtics, who have their immediate focus on meetings with Kevin Durant and Al Horford this weekend and dealing with their other free agents Amir Johnson, Jonas Jerebko and restricted free agents Jared Sullinger and Tyler Zeller, as well.
NBA.com’s David Aldridge reports the interest between the Lakers and Turner is mutual.
