DeMar DeRozan continues to draw interest around the NBA, with three teams emerging as potential destinations for the veteran forward.
According to NBA insider Marc Stein, the Washington Wizards have shown interest in DeRozan, joining the Miami Heat and Denver Nuggets among the teams pursuing the former All-Star.
Washington's interest comes after the Wizards attempted to bring Russell Westbrook back to the nation's capital on a two-year contract.
Westbrook ultimately ended those talks before announcing his retirement, leading Washington to shift its focus toward adding another established veteran.
Wizards turn attention to DeRozan
DeRozan would provide Washington with a proven scorer and veteran presence after the Westbrook reunion failed to materialize.
Miami has also been linked with DeRozan as it continues searching for additional offensive help alongside Giannis Antetokounmpo, while Nikola Jokic's Denver represents another potential destination for the six-time All-Star.

The 37-year-old remains one of the most accomplished players available late in the offseason, having previously starred for the Toronto Raptors, San Antonio Spurs, Chicago Bulls and Sacramento Kings.
DeRozan has averaged more than 20 points per game in 12 different NBA seasons and has built his career around mid-range scoring, isolation offense and the ability to create shots late in games.
