The saga of Philadelphia 76ers phantom player Furkan Korkmaz reminds me of a famous quote. “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity…” – A TALE OF TWO CITIES by Charles Dickens.
For you see, Furkan Kormaz is an NBA player on the roster of the Philadelphia 76ers, and he is signed up through 2021. While both the 2019-2020 and 2020-2021 seasons are team options, few if any expected the team to pass on the player when he signed.
