Former NBA player Josh Childress is looking to return home and the Utah Jazz could look to acquire him.

Following a two-year stint with the Sydney Kings of Australia’s National Basketball League, former Atlanta Hawks and Phoenix Suns wing Josh Childress is aiming for an NBA return. The 32-year-old, Childress, who also spent time with the Brooklyn Nets and the New Orleans Pelicans, last played in the league in 2013.

According to a report by Olgun Uluc of Fox News Australia on Tuesday, Childress plans on testing the waters in the D-League, but is also on the radar of multiple NBA teams, including the Utah Jazz–

Chris Dempsey of The Denver Post was the first to report on Childress’ return to the States.

In his two seasons in the NBL, Childress appeared in 31 games for Sydney, averaging 21 points, 8.7 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 1.9 blocks per game. He also connected on 51 percent of his shots from the field and just under 35 percent from behind the arc.

As an NBA player, Childress averaged 9.1 points and 4.7 rebounds in 391 career games. His best years came in Atlanta where, as part of youth movement with Joe Johnson, Josh Smith and Marvin Williams, the six-foot-eight wing averaged 11.1 points and 5.6 rebounds over four seasons.

After carving out a role for himself as the Hawks’ sixth man, the former No. 6 overall pick of the 2004 NBA Draft famously turned down a five-year deal to remain in Atlanta for a more lucrative contract with Olympiacos of the Greek Basketball League in 2008.

If the Jazz looked to acquire Childress, he could provide wing depth at the end of the bench. He could also land with the team’s D-League affiliate, the Idaho Stampede. Stay tuned to Purple & Blues for any developments on this story, as well as the latest talk on the NBA Trade Deadline.
