Kyle O'Quinn Turkey bound?
Donatas Urbonas: Eight-year NBA veteran Kyle O’Quinn is in advanced talks with Fenerbahce Istanbul, few sources confirmed.
Kyle O’Quinn, a Philadelphia 76ers forward/center, has generated $150,000 earmarked for helping NSU’s basketball players attend summer school. The 6-foot-9 O’Quinn, who earned a reported $4.5 million last season, has made $25,000 donations to his alma mater over three seasons, with each donation matched by the National Basketball Players Association.
Since arriving at NSU as an otherwise-overlooked high schooler from New York, O’Quinn credits the school with giving him “an opportunity of a lifetime.” It’s why, eight seasons into his NBA career, he wants to give back. “I like to be a part it,” O’Quinn, 30, said this week. “I like to be engaged, and I’m a fan now. Now that I don’t go there, I’m a fan of the university, and I want to see the university do great things. So my giving is just out of my heart.”
“It’s been a huge lifesaver,” NSU coach Robert Jones said. “It’s not the easiest task for us to raise $50,000. Maybe for some other programs, maybe it’s nothing. But it’s tough for us to raise $50,000, especially in one shot like that. So for him to be able to contribute $50,000 every year helps out tremendously.”
Jeff Zillgitt: Tonight’s Heat-Celtics game will feature virtual fans who attend or graduated from HBCUs — approximately 100 students and alumni from more than 60 HBCUs will participate. Norfolk State alum and Sixers forward Kyle O’Quinn will host Q&A with fans at halftime.
Noah Levick: Kyle O’Quinn says Furkan Korkmaz apologized to him after the game for not feeding him at the end of of the game and setting him up for a 1st career triple-double. No hard feelings from O’Quinn.
