It’s been a while since we checked in on Philadelphia 76ers’ prospect Furkan Korkmaz.
Last we saw, the 26th overall pick in last year’s draft was attempting to find some minutes for an Anadolu Efes team overflowing with quality guard play. He was averaging just 12.7 minutes per game for the formerly Dario Saric led Turkish club, and both sides decided it would be best if he went elsewhere.
Korkmaz was expecting to be loaned to mid-tier Turkish side Pinar Karsiyaka, but word apparently leaked out too quickly on social media, reportedly harming the move.
A representative for Pinar Karsiyaka says Furkan Korkmaz might not transfer after all because social media negatively affected the move.
