Furkan Korkmaz News
Philadelphia 76ers forwards Marcus Morris Sr. and Furkan Korkmaz have been dealt to the Indiana Pacers in a money-saving type of move. According to Adrian Wojnarowski, the Pacers traded away Buddy Hield for Morris, Korkmaz, and three second-round picks because they were unable to keep Hield and Obi Toppin while staying under the cap limit. It's unclear how prominent of a role Morris and Korkmaz will play, but it seems that Morris won't be receiving the same amount of minutes as he did in Philadelphia. Neither one of them are instant adds after joining their new team, so fantasy managers can take a wait-and-see type of approach to find out where they'll fall in the rotation.
Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Furkan Korkmaz (hamstring) was able to log 20 minutes of action in the team's preseason finale on Friday. He contributed eight points in a 120-106 win, shooting 3-for-6 from the field with a 1-for-2 effort from downtown. Korkmaz also registered a pair of rebounds and assists. The 26-year-old had missed the previous three preseason contests with a hamstring issue. Korkmaz, who was used in only 37 regular-season games last season and logged 11 minutes of playoff action, will hope to break back into the rotation in 2023-24. However, it will be a very difficult task, with Philadelphia adding extra depth to the bench in the shape of Kelly Oubre Jr. and Patrick Beverley.
Philadelphia 76ers forwards Furkan Korkmaz (hamstring) and Danuel House Jr. (knee) both missed practice on Friday after suffering some minor injuries. House has at least seen some action on the court throughout the preseason so far while Korkmaz has yet to play in a game. Last season, Korkmaz requested a trade since he wasn't getting any playing time, but there hasn't been any word about that request since then. Both of these guys aren't on the fantasy radar in any format unless their situations change drastically.
Philadelphia 76ers forward Furkan Korkmaz (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Utah Jazz. This doesn't come as much of a shock after Korkmaz was forced to exit early on Saturday due to a left knee issue. The team will take the cautious approach here and rest Korkmaz. Luckily, De'Anthony Melton is off the injury report, so he'll return on Sunday. The expectation is that Melton, Matisse Thybulle and Shake Milton should all see increased role with Korkmaz sidelined. However, none of them are likely to make a significant enough impact to warrant streaming.
