Larry Sanders Worked Out for Boston Celtics, Seems to Be Seeking NBA Return

Larry Sanders

Larry Sanders hasn’t played in the NBA since the 2014-15 season, but it seems that might change soon.

The 28-year-old tweeted this on Thursday night:

That was followed by report from Keith Smith of 16 Wins a Ring stating Sanders has already worked out for the Boston Celtics:

Smith later added that more workouts are on the way:

It’s wholly unclear how much Sanders can help any team right now. He has played in just 50 games since the 2013-14 campaign and is entering an NBA that’s undergone a drastic transformation since he left—one dominated by bigs who protect the rim and space the floor.

Still, Sanders was a more-than-serviceable rim-runner and paint protector during his days with the Milwaukee Bucks. Plug him into a lineup with four above-average shooters, and he could become a huge tactical boom.

This, of course, is assuming he already has himself in game shape and can jump on the hardwood right away. Potential suitors might see him as a project—someone they sign now but don’t intend to deploy until next year.

We’ll have to wait and see.
