Nicolas Batum’s agent Jeremy Medjana confirmed that the French small forward has drawn interest from six NBA teams after getting waived by the Charlotte Hornets.
“Six teams have contacted us and showed interest in Nico: Nets, Warriors, Jazz, Clippers, Bucks and Raptors. Nico is in the best shape of his life. He’s been working hard with coaches for two months. He lost ten kilos”, said Medjana on Basket Session.
Batum played 22 games with the Hornets in 2019-20 season before the season was suspended in March due to the COVID-19 pandemic. He averaged 3.6 points, 4.5 rebounds and 3.0 assists per game.
Charlotte waived and stretched Batum earlier this month so they could sign Gordon Hayward to a four-year, $120 million contract in the unrestricted free agency.
