Nuggets Join Celtics With Interest In Lonnie Walker IV

The Denver Nuggets have emerged with interest in Lonnie Walker IV. 

Walker spent the preseason with the Boston Celtics where he averaged 7.2 points, 1.5 rebounds and 2.5 assists in 16.4 minutes. The Celtics have interest in signing Walker depending on whether they can create some roster flexibility. Boston tried to retain Walker ahead of opening night, but that required a trade of Jaden Springer that never materialized. 

Last season, Walker averaged 9.7 points, 2.2 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 17.4 minutes over 58 games with the Brooklyn Nets. 

Walker recently signed with Zalgiris in Lithuania and has an NBA out until February 18th.
