Omer Yurtseven seems likely to return to Europe to continue his career. Yurtseven has an agreement in principle with Panathinaikos in Greece for next season. The deal won’t be made official until Yurtseven has a chance to make sure he doesn’t have any NBA offers for next season.
The 6-foot-11 center spent last season with the Utah Jazz. Yurtseven averaged 4.6 points and 4.3 rebounds in 11.4 minutes per game for the Jazz.
It was reported that Yurtseven recently met with the New York Knicks, but no contract agreement came. Shortly thereafter, it was reported that Yurtseven was strongly considering an offer to join Panathinaikos.
