Numerous teams heading to Orlando have expressed serious interest in signing wing Justin Anderson, Ian Begley of SNY tweets.
Prior to the stoppage of play, Anderson was a member of the Long Island Nets. He was signed to a 10-day contract with the Brooklyn Nets in early January but the NBA Nets didn’t offer him another contract. His G League rights were traded by Raptors 905 to the Nets affiliate later that month. Earlier on Friday, Anderson was named to the All-NBAGL Third Team.
Anderson was on the Wizards’ training camp roster but was waived prior to the season.
Anderson, 26, has appeared in 219 NBA games. He saw action in three Nets games this season and played 48 games for the Hawks last season. He’s also worn the Dallas and Philadelphia uniforms since entering the league in 2015/16.
Anderson’s defensive ability is the attraction for the teams looking to sign him, Begley adds. He’s averaged 5.3 PPG in 13.1 MPG while shooting 30% from long range during his NBA career.
Nets may want to bring him back since Wilson Chandler just opted out of playing in Orlando.
