The Philadelphia 76ers and Orlando Magichave emerged as interested suitors for Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, according to reports from Marc Stein on Substack.
Both teams are considering pursuing Caldwell-Pope if he opts out of his $15.4 million player option with the Nuggets to explore free agency and potentially secure a more lucrative deal.
Caldwell-Pope, who played for the Denver Nuggets last season, averaged 10.1 points, 2.4 rebounds, and 2.4 assists in 31.6 minutes per game.
His impending free agency decision has sparked interest from several teams looking to bolster their perimeter shooting and defensive capabilities for the upcoming season.
With Caldwell-Pope’s skill set valued across the league, competition is expected to be fierce as teams vie for his services in a competitive free agent market.
