Former Maccabi Tel Aviv player Lonny Walker, recently released by the Denver Nuggets, is attracting interest from multiple European basketball clubs. Turkish reports indicate that Besiktas is actively pursuing Walker, with two additional EuroLeague teams also expressing interest in signing the 27-year-old American guard. Walker joined the Nuggets this summer after leaving Maccabi Tel Aviv for another NBA opportunity. He struggled to secure playing time during the preseason, appearing in limited minutes and scoring minimally in exhibition games. Before his release, Walker commented on the Denver Nuggets' team culture, stating, "Denver's DNA is winning - ever since I was in the league this has always been a team without ego, you look at the players here - there's no ego here and everyone wants to win. I think many of us, including myself, are trying to ensure that we arrive in good shape. I will do whatever the team needs from me."
