Wilson Chandler Returning Sooner Than Expected?

by Charlie on February 17, 2012

According to a report from Kurt Helin at ProBasketballTalk, Wilson Chandler may be able to opt out of his Chinese Basketball Association contract and return to the NBA – and the Denver Nuggets – much sooner than expected.

Posted this week’s NBA waiver recommendations earlier this afternoon.
