The Sixers’ pursuit of building a solid bench continues with yet another ‘Woj Bomb’. This time, Philly has signed former draftee Furkan Korkmaz to a two-year deal.
This contract is interesting given that the young forward seemed intent on forcing a trade due to a lack of playing time. A flurry of moves and an average of 19 minutes of court time per game later and those concerns seem to have dissipated.
The Sixers opted against picking up his third-year option and initially he was unable to crack the starting rotation which is what sparked that friction.
