Ömer Yurtseven: Breaking News

Agrees to deal with Panathinaikos

Yurtseven agreed to a deal with Panathinaikos on Monday, Eurohoops reports. The deal isn't finalized yet, but the 6-foot-11 big man is expected to return to Europe to finish his career. After spending three years with Fenerbache to start his basketball career, Yurtseven went to the United States for college in 2016. He spent four years at NC State before transferring to Georgetown. He wasn't selected in the 2020 NBA Draft but received a G League opportunity and worked his way into the Heat's rotation in 2021, averaging 5.3 points and 5.3 rebounds in 12.6 minutes across 56 appearances (12 starts). After making only nine appearances for Miami in 2022, Yurtseven joined the Jazz in 2023 and played 48 games (12 starts), averaging 4.6 points and 4.3 rebounds in 11.4 minutes.

Parts ways with Utah

The Jazz will waive Yurtseven on Sunday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports. Yurtseven was scheduled to earn $2.66 million in 2024-25, but since that portion of the two-year deal he signed in July 2023 was non-guaranteed, the Jazz will be free of any financial obligation by waiving him. The 6-foot-11 center made 48 appearances for Utah in 2023-24, averaging 4.6 points and 4.3 rebounds in 11.4 minutes. He'll look to find work elsewhere as a second- or third-string center.

Productive in season finale Sunday

Yurtseven supplied 11 points (5-12 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 18 rebounds and two assists over 30 minutes during Sunday's 123-116 loss to the Warriors. Yurtseven spent most of the season as the third-string center behind John Collins (back) and Walker Kessler (nose), but since both were ruled out for the season finale, Yurtseven stepped into a starting role and looked quite good, posting a double-double and making his presence felt on the glass. Yurtseven started Utah's final six games of the campaign, scoring in double digits four times and posting two double-doubles in that span.
