Bryon Russell is interested in making a return to the NBA, and his agent has had conversations with the Celtics, 76ers, Thunder, and Suns.

Russell, who has been allowing a knee injury to heal, says that he's capable of playing 15-20 minutes a night.

"I want to help some playoff teams and get back into the game that I love," said Russell of playing in Boston. "I work out every day. The rust part can get worked out just by playing with the fellas. I wouldn't take away from The Big Three [in Boston]. I would love to play with them. I have nothing to prove. I want to lend a helping hand with the loss of [James ] Posey by playing defense, knocking down jump shots, and basically playing the role of a Posey. I got some life in these legs. Now that the [trade] deadline is over, I think people are looking to add a veteran on their squad. I'm hoping I can provide that."
