The Australian Associated Press has reported that the Adelaide 36ers remain eager to sign South Australian centre Luke Schenscher, despite rumors that the 216cm centre is close to joining NBA team Sacramento.

"I will speak to Luke's agent in the States to see if there is anything we can do once Luke's finished his time in the States or doesn't get the NBA deal he is after," Bauer told AAP.

"He stayed in the (NBA's second tier) Development League to hang around for any opportunities."

Schenscher had a short stint in Sacramento last season and the organistion is reportedly interested in bringing him back.
