DERRICK Favors hasn’t been in the NBA since his release in 2022 – but now he’s getting another look.

The center has worked out for two West Coast teams, including a seven-time franchise champion.

Per HoopsHype, Favors has recently worked out for the Golden State Warriors.

For the Warriors, Favors would provide added front court depth.

He could potentially backup starters Kevon Looney and former Defensive Player of the Year Draymond Green.

The Warriors signed Dario Saric over the offseason, but they still may not have enough big man bodies to get through the season.

Favors has played in the NBA for 12 years, too, providing value veteran experience to the bench.

If the Warriors want Favors though, they might need to act fast.

The Portland Trail Blazers have also worked out the big.

The Trail Blazers still have to deal with trading Damian Lillard, but that doesn’t mean they can’t start shaping the last pieces of their roster.

Favors last played in the NBA for the Oklahoma City Thunder during the 2021-22 season.

In his NBA career, the pro has averaged nearly 11 points and seven rebounds a game.

In July, the veteran uploaded photos to Instagram, featuring him working out.

He wrote: “Vegas work,” followed by the basketball emoji.

NBA center Rudy Gobert and former NBA star Kyle O’Quinn even commented on the post.

Favors will need to find a team fast if he wants to participate in training camp.

On September 27, training camps open for all teams participating in preseason games outside North America.

The first allowable date for all other veteran players to report to their teams is October 2.

NBA training camp officially opens on October 3.
