DeAndre Jordan was last week traded by the Dallas Mavericks to the New York Knicks as part of the deal that took Kristaps Porzingis to New York. Nevertheless, Dan Woike of the LA Times is reporting that Jordan is unlikely to stay with the Knicks and wants to return to Los Angeles:

A more immediate impact could come after the trade deadline, when the center-heavy Knicks could buy out Jordan’s contract, making him a free agent. Jordan would like to return to Los Angeles, and he’s still close with coach Doc Rivers. Some NBA scouts believe a pairing with the Lakers, perhaps next summer, makes sense for Jordan, too.

Jordan was named an NBA All-Star in 2017, and the 30-year-old is currently averaging 11.0 points, 13.7 rebounds and 1.1 blocks per game. The veteran center is also set to become an unrestricted free agent in the summer.
