The Boston Celtics have been looking into the availability of Detroit Pistons big man Nerlens Noel according to The Athletic’s James L. Edwards III. The Celtics are not the only team asking after Noel, however, with Edwards reporting that the Miami Heat, Denver Nuggets, Dallas Mavericks, Sacramento Kings, and Philadelphia 76ers have also inquired after the Malden, Massachusetts native.
Noel has not been playing much with the Pistons this season, having only appeared in a total of just 13 contests with Detroit, and might be better suited as a potential buyout target given the depth of the Pistons’ frontcourt at present with Jalen Duren, Isaiah Stewart, Marvin Bagley III, Isaiah Livers, and Kevin Knox all ahead of him in terms of minutes.
