NBA Trade Rumors: Forbes, Turner, LeVert, Gordon, Knicks, Timberwolves, Kings

Bryn Forbes is considered to be available ahead of the trade deadline, according to Michael Scotto of HoopsHype.

The Spurs are hoping to eventually open up an opportunity for rookie Joshua Primo to play during the second half of the season.

The Nuggets are one of the teams reportedly interested, as they’re currently without Jamal Murray and have lost PJ Dozier for the season.

Forbes is averaging 9.1 points per game this season including 41.7 percent shooting from three.
