NBA free agency has slowed down quite a bit, as most of the league's top free agents have reached agreements. With NBA teams running out of roster spots, remaining free agents are beginning to realize there may not be an opportunity in the league next season.
This is a reality that seven-year NBA veteran Furkan Korkmaz accepted this summer, as the longtime Philadelphia 76ers shooting guard has announced his decision to join AS Monaco Basket in the EuroLeague.
"Thrilled to join AS Monaco Basket," Korkmaz wrote on X. "Looking forward to the journey ahead and the memories we'll create together. Let's make this season one to remember!"
Korkmaz spent all seven of his NBA seasons in Philadelphia, and shared a heartfelt message to the fanbase on X ahead of his decision to sign with AS Monaco Basket.
"To the Sixers Family, I didn’t have a chance to say goodbye, but now I want to take a moment to do so," Korkmaz wrote. "Thank you to the Sixers organization, to the amazing fans, and to my coaches and teammates. Your support and love have been incredible. I’ve made incredible friendships along the way, and I’m grateful for every moment spent on and off the court. We’ve shared so many good and tough times together. Philadelphia, The City of Brotherly Love, you will always hold a special place in my heart. Thank you for the memories and the journey. Now, a new chapter begins in my career."
In his seven NBA seasons, Korkmaz averaged 6.8 points per game in 328 appearances for Philadelphia.
