The Phoenix Suns are interested in trading for Utah Jazz forward Bojan Bogdanovic, Arizona Sports reported.
The Suns reached out Thursday after the Jazz traded All-Star guard Donovan Mitchell to Cleveland.
Utah is in full rebuilding mode, having traded All-Star center Rudy Gobert to Minnesota earlier this summer.
Bogdanovic, 33, is one of Utah’s top remaining trade assets along with 34-year-old point guard Mike Conley.
Bogdanovic averaged 18.1 points and 4.3 rebounds and sank 181 3-pointers in 69 starts in 2021-22.
He is a career 39.2 percent shooter from 3-point distance with averages of 15.0 points and 3.6 rebounds in 603 games (486 starts) with the Brooklyn Nets, Washington Wizards, Indiana Pacers and Jazz.
Bogdanovic is entering the final season of a four-year, $73.1 million deal signed with Utah in July 2019. He carries a $19.55 million cap hit in 2022-23.
