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.

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.
Double-double against Nuggets
Yurtseven ended with 20 points (9-14 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 11 rebounds, two assists and two steals in 37 minutes during Tuesday's 111-95 loss to Denver. Making his third straight start in the absence of John Collins (back) and Walker Kessler (nose), Yurtseven delivered his first double-double of the season. The 25-year-old center has averaged 13.3 points, 8.3 boards, 1.0 assists and 1.0 steals during his brief starting stint, and with Utah headed back to the draft lottery, Yurtseven could see a significant role over the final three regular-season games.
Posts 12 points in starting role
Yurtseven registered 12 points (6-10 FG), seven rebounds, one assist and one steal over 21 minutes during Friday's 131-102 loss to the Clippers. Yurtseven garnered the start with John Collins (back) and Walker Kessler (nose) on the sidelines, and although he struggled alongside the rest of the starters, he's proven to be an effective placeholder when called upon. He's started 22 games with the Jazz this season, a decrease from his 40 starts during his rookie season, but the 22-year old is developing over time. The Auburn product will provide solid backup support regardless of where he ends up. His youth is a solid indicator that the Jazz will want to keep him on the payroll as they rebuild in the offseason.
Starting against Clippers
Yurtseven will start against the Clippers on Friday, Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com reports. John Collins (back) and Walker Kessler (nose) are both sidelined, so Yurtseven could have a sizable role Friday night. In six starts this season, Yurtseven averaged 6.0 points, 8.7 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 1.0 blocks.
Gets green light
Yurtseven (ankle) is available for Monday's game against the Mavericks. Yurtseven will return to action Monday after missing Saturday's loss to the Rockets due to a right ankle sprain. However, Utah is at full strength, save for Kris Dunn (suspension), so it's unclear how big of a role Yurtseven will have off the bench.
Listed as questionable for Monday
Yurtseven (ankle) is questionable for Monday's game against Dallas. Yurtseven sat out Saturday's game against the Rockets due to a right ankle sprain, and it's unclear whether he'll be able to return to action Monday. If he's available, Yurtseven is unlikely to see significant playing time.
Not playing Saturday
Yurtseven (ankle) is out for Saturday's game against the Rockets, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports. Yurtseven logged 21 minutes in the 113-97 loss to the Mavericks on Thursday, but he'll miss this one, marking his fourth absence since the beginning of March. His next chance to play will come against Dallas on Monday.
