Slam Dunk? Several NBA Teams Want Aussie Basketballer Andrew Bogut

One of Australia's best basketball players could make a return to the NBA.

Despite leaving behind a 13-year career in the NBA, Australian basketballer, Andrew Bogut, has continued being an MVP in Australia's National Basketball League with the Sydney Kings.

But according to a journalist from US sports magazine The Athletic, he might soon be making a return to the NBA.

Multiple contenders, including Golden State and Philadelphia, are expected to express interest in upcoming free agent Andrew Bogut. His season has ended in playoffs of Australia’s NBL, where Bogut was league MVP and DPOY, and he will take some time to decide on next team.

The reports are saying that with the season finished at Sydney Kings, Bogut is a free-agent and could sign back with a number of teams.

"Before anyone asks: no NBA outs, no European outs. I'm committed to being here for two years ... it will retire me from the NBA, I'm happy to say that today.” - Andrew Bogut, when he signed with the Kings, back in April.

Some of those teams include the recent NBA Finals winners Western Conference's Golden State Warriors as well as the Eastern Conference's Philadelphia 76ers.

While in the NBA, Bogut spent most of his time with the Milwaukee Bucks before heading to the Golden State Warriors. He also had brief stints with the Cleveland Cavaliers and Los Angeles Lakers before returning to Australia to play with the Sydney Kings.
