Sterling Davis is top of the Brighton Bears hit list as they bid to re-build their squad for next season.
The player-of-the-year headed home to Dallas this week after helping his side to the BBL semi-finals.
He was due to speak to Bears coach Nick Nurse last night.
Only skipper Randy Duck is so far committed to Bears for next season but Nurse said: "It have to prioritise from my end.
"We have Randy coming back and the next place I will go is our MVP (most valuable player).
"I have already had discussions with Sterling and I hope things will progrees shortly."
