The Atlanta Hawks are interested in pursuing free agent Shabazz Muhammad, according to ESPN’s Marc J. Spears.

Spears reported the former Minnesota Timberwolves forward is drawing interest from the Hawks, Brooklyn Nets, Milwaukee Bucks and New York Knicks.

In four seasons with the Timberwolves, Muhammad averaged 9.7 points, three rebounds and 0.6 assists per game. Last season, Muhammad shot .476 from the field and .323 beyond the arc.

Muhammad was selected No. 14 overall in the 2013 NBA Draft by the Utah Jazz, but was traded to the Timberwolves on Draft day.
