The Indiana Pacers have released Furkan Korkmaz, eyeing Europe for the first time. Besiktas made a strong offer to sign him.

Just. the reason; He doesn't want to give up trying again in the NBA during free agency, figuring that – looking back – he would find something to cover him and give him the opportunity to rebuild his name, on the other side of the Atlantic.

But for now, the main thing for him is to stay active and get into a competitive rhythm by playing in his home country. Naturally, it should be noted that he is not entitled to participate in European competitions, since the deadline for the European Cup has expired.
