The 76ers declined to exercise the third-year team option of Furkan Korkmaz's deal. As a result, the 6-foot-7, 185-pound swingman will become a free agent on July 1.

Kormaz, 21, has played in only 19 career games, including five this season. He has averaged 1.4 points and 5.6 minutes in two seasons with the team.

The Sixers said earlier in the week that they hadn't decided whether they were going to exercise the $2.03 million third-year team option on his contract. The team is considering trading him. A source said Korkmaz wants to be traded because he is not playing much.
