It has been claimed that Furkan Korkmaz, who was waived by the Indiana Pacers in the NBA, will sign with Fenerbahçe Beko. It is stated that Fenerbahçe could make a major move with the transfer of the national basketball player.
Furkan Korkmaz, who was traded from the Philadelphia Sixers to the Indiana Pacers on the final day of the NBA trade deadline, was subsequently waived by the Pacers.
According to Yasin Yay, it has been stated that national small forward Furkan Korkmaz will sign with Fenerbahçe Beko. It was also noted that Ümit Avcı reported that Korkmaz has arrived in Istanbul.
Although it is mentioned that Beşiktaş Emlakjet is also in the running for the 26-year-old star, it seems more likely that the player will sign with the Yellow-Navies. Since the Euroleague transfer window closed on February 7, Korkmaz will not be able to compete in the European arena if he signs with Fenerbahçe, but he will be able to continue playing in the Turkish Basketball League.
Raised in the Anadolu Efes youth system, Korkmaz also played one season for Banvit in Turkey.
In his 7-season NBA career, Korkmaz averaged 6.8 points, 2.0 rebounds, and 1.2 assists.
