Jonas Jerebko will be a free agent after the season, but clear the Boston Celtics have interest in keeping him around.

“Jerebko’s somebody that we’ve tried to get before,” Danny Ainge said. “We like shooting bigs. I love guys that know how to play and can shoot 3’s and have length.

“As a spacer at the 4 position, I’ve always liked him. And that’s what he does well is spread the floor. He can shoot the 3 and he can attack close-outs. He just knows how to play.”

The Celtics aquired Jerebko in a trade with the Detroit Pistons.
