Jared Sullinger is looking into signing with the Brooklyn Nets, his agent told Stefan Bondy of the New York Daily News:
Free agent Jared Sullinger is “exploring the opportunity” of signing with the Nets, his agent David Falk told the Daily News.
On Tuesday a picture surfaced on social media of Sullinger wearing Nets gear while posing with Brooklyn’s D’Angelo Russell at the team’s practice facility. However, Falk said nothing has been finalized.
“I’m a big fan of the coach (Kenny Atkinson),” Falk said. “He’s a great motivator, and they have a great facility.
“(Sullinger) is a talented big man and we’re looking into an opportunity”

Sullinger, a talented big man from Ohio State, fell to the Celtics at no. 21 in the 2012 NBA Draft and played in Boston until 2015-16. He spent a small amount of time with the Raptors in 2016-17 before being traded to and immediately waived by the Phoenix Suns.
Sullinger has battled weight issues throughout his career.
