Report: Clippers, Nuggets interested in Raptors' Boucher
The Los Angeles Clippers and Denver Nuggets have reached out to the Toronto Raptors about forward Chris Boucher, sources told Sportsnet's Michael Grange.
At least four teams have contacted the Raptors about the pending free agent, according to Grange.
After playing in 50 games last season, Boucher re-entered the rotation this campaign. He's averaging 10.5 points, the second-highest mark of his career, and shooting 38% from three, knocking down 1.5 shots from deep per game.
Toronto is also open to signing the 32-year-old to a short-term contract in the offseason, Grange reports.
Boucher is in the final season of a three-year, $35.2-million contract he signed in 2022. He holds career averages of 8.9 points and 5.1 rebounds.
The Nuggets (31-19) and Clippers (28-21) are separated by 2.5 games in the Western Conference standings. Both teams are above the play-in tournament bracket.
The trade deadline is Feb 6 at 3 p.m. ET.
