Omer Yurtseven's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Turkish centerOmer Yurtsevenwill likely be returning to Europe, according to a report from the Greek outlet SDNA. The EuroLeague champions Panathinaikoshave made an official offer for the free agent.Yurtseven played for the Utah Jazz last season, appearing in 48 games and averaging 4.6 points and 4.3 rebounds. Unfortunately, it seems the 26-year-old hasn't been able to find another opportunity with a different team for the upcoming NBA campaign.

Utah Jazz center Omer Yurtseven (ankle) won't be in action against Houston on Saturday. He's dropping out of the lineup after having one of his best games of the season. With John Collins (face) unavailable, Yurtseven logged 21 minutes against Dallas on Thursday and had 12 points, five rebounds, and two assists. Collins will be back on Saturday, so Yurtseven wouldn't have had a big role in the rotation anyway. The Turkish big man has averaged only 9.4 minutes across 38 games this season, registering 3.7 points and 3.7 rebounds.
