Kenneth Faried‘s name has been popping up in the NBA rumor mill lately as a potential candidate to have the final few months of his contract bought out before the March 1 postseason eligibility deadline, but Brooklyn Nets coach Kenny Atkinson says Faried hasn’t made such a request.
Faried was one of several players listed in a piece from ESPN’s NBA Insiders last week as part of a rumors report from the NBA G League Winter Showcase in Las Vegas.
Atkinson said Thursday, per Brian Lewis of the New York Post, that Faried hasn’t asked for a buyout.
