Furkan Korkmaz talked to Fanatik’s Gökhan German about his deal with the Philadelphia 76ers and why he decided to return for the club. “The reason why I stayed in Philadelphia was the departure of (Jimmy) Butler and (JJ) Redick. Their departures created a need for a shooter in the team, and I leaned towards the deal. We had actually been negotiating with different teams during the offseason. Philadelphia was a surprise to me as well, but on the other hand, I am looking at it from a positive perspective. Them calling me back means that I did some good things, left some marks on people over here”, Korkmaz stated.
“We’re excited to have Furkan back and look forward to his continued growth and contributions,” Brand said. “He has a strong work ethic and he’s well-respected in our locker room. Having just turned 22, Furkan is a talented young player with significant potential, and we’re thrilled to have him on our roster.”
