The New Orleans Pelicans are interested in free-agent swingman Evan Turner, sources tell ESPN's Ian Begley.

New Orleans might be looking to Turner as a replacement for the outgoing Eric Gordon, whose contract is up this summer.

Turner is slated to become an unrestricted free agent after spending two seasons as a key rotation piece for the Celtics where he averaged 10 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 3.8 assists.

The 27-year-old is reportedly interested in six teams. Three of the clubs in the list include the Los Angeles Lakers, the Boston Celtics, and the New York Knicks, according to various reports.
