Derrick Jones Jr. is expected to draw interest from the Detroit Pistons, Atlanta Hawks, and Chicago Bulls, sources told Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald.

The 23-year-old Jones is an unrestricted free agent this offseason.

Teams will be interested in Jones due to his age, athleticism, defensive ability, and a belief that he has yet to peak as a player.

After playing in every Heat game starting from December 1st, Jones averaged just 6.5 minutes in the playoffs.

Jones averaged 8.5 points and 3.9 rebounds last season. 

Derrick Jones Jr. will be an unrestricted free agent this offseason with the Miami Heat expected to receive competition from rival teams on the open market.

The Atlanta Hawks will honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. with an alternate jersey colorway for next season.

The jersey was unveiled on the Hawks' Twitter account.

King's initials will appear on the front of a jersey for the first time in NBA history, with the team adding that the "black, gold and white colorway speaks to Dr. King's determination, as well as his understated style."

"Being able to represent Dr. King and continue to educate next generation Atlantans and basketball fans around the world about his legacy is so important, especially right now. One of Dr. King's final campaigns was for economic justice, which is why we are excited that proceeds from sales of this jersey will go toward supporting communities of color," said Hawks chief marketing officer Melissa Proctor.

NBA players have selected Vince Carter as the recipient of the 2019-20 NBA Sportsmanship Award.

Carter, who spent the 2019-20 season with the Atlanta Hawks, announced his retirement from the NBA in June after playing a league-record 22 seasons. He receives the Joe Dumars Trophy as the winner of the NBA Sportsmanship Award. Dumars, a two-time NBA champion and Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Famer, played 14 NBA seasons and won the inaugural Sportsmanship Award in the 1995-96 season. 

Each NBA team nominated one of its players for the NBA Sportsmanship Award, which is designed to honor a player who best represents the ideals of sportsmanship on the court. From the list of 30 team nominees, a panel of league executives selected one finalist from each of the NBA’s six divisions. Current NBA players selected the winner from the list of six finalists, with more than 250 players submitting their votes through confidential balloting conducted by the league office. 

In addition to Carter (Southeast Division), the other finalists were Oklahoma City Thunder center Steven Adams (Northwest), Sacramento Kings forward Harrison Barnes (Pacific), Detroit Pistons guard Langston Galloway (Central), Memphis Grizzlies guard Tyus Jones (Southwest) and Brooklyn Nets guard Garrett Temple (Atlantic).
