It’s hard to believe, but Furkan Korkmaz was the savior for the Philadelphia 76ers, not once but twice this past week. He caught fire like he never has before prior to this week heading into the All-Star and with that in mind, he’s earned this “Player of the Week” award.
In the 12-point victory against the Memphis Grizzlies, Korkmaz had a career night. He finished with 34 points (career-high), six rebounds, four assists, one block, and two turnovers, while converting 13-17 shot attempts, 7-9 3-pointers and 1-3 from the free throw line.
