According to Yahoo Sports’ Chris Haynes, the Boston Celtics are among a number of teams interested in signing veteran Los Angeles Clippers forward Nic Batum. The Frenchman recently declined a $3.3 million player option to become an unrestricted free agent after a solid pair of seasons with the Clippers that saw him average 8.2 points, 4.5 rebounds, 2 assists, and a steal per game while shooting a very solid 40.2% from beyond the arc.
The Celtics will have to compete with the Los Angeles Lakers, Chicago Bulls, Phoenix Suns, and Utah Jazz in addition to the Clippers for the 14-season veteran’s services.
