DeMar DeRozan draws interest from Miami, Denver and Cleveland in NBA free agency

Veteran forward DeMar DeRozan, 36, was released by the Sacramento Kings three weeks ago after posting averages of 18.4 points, 4.1 assists and 2.9 rebounds per game. Free agency analysts say his health and extensive playoff experience make him a valuable target.

The Miami Heat are reported to view DeRozan as a complementary piece for Giannis Antetokounmpo, especially after recent roster changes that left the team thin on wing players. The Heat also have interest in adding Bradley Beal to bolster their scoring.

The Denver Nuggets see DeRozan as a potential boost for the supporting cast around Nikola Jokić and Jamal Murray, though salary‑cap constraints could complicate any move.

The Cleveland Cavaliers consider the veteran as a logical alternative after an unsuccessful attempt to sign LeBron James, hoping his experience will help the team advance deeper into the playoffs.
