After several years away from basketball, Baron Davis is looking to get back on the court. The 36-year-old guard is reportedly on the verge of signing a contract with the D-League, which could give him one final shot at the NBA.
“Every pro athlete wants to retire on his terms,” Davis’ agent Todd Ramasar, who also played with Davis at UCLA, told Yahoo Sports. “His current last game wasn’t the way he wanted to go out. He is very excited about the D-League.”
Once he signs a deal with the D-League, Davis will be entered in the player pool and becomes eligible to be claimed off waivers. According to Ramasar, Davis has no preference about which team claims him.
“He is looking forward to playing in the D-League and showing teams what he is capable of,” Ramasar said. “He feels that the timing is right. More than anything Baron has put in the training and is confident in his body. He feels he is ready to return to the NBA.”

A possible landing spot for the veteran could be the Texas Legends, the D-League affiliate of the Dallas Mavericks. They’ve signed veterans for organizational depth in the past and Davis worked out with them recently, according to his agent.
