Ömer Yurtseven News
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.
Utah Jazz forward Omer Yurtseven will move into the starting unit ahead of Saturday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. The Jazz are without Lauri Markkanen (hamstring) for Saturday's game, so Yurtseven will be asked to help fill the void. He dropped 18 points in 17 minutes of action during a recent matchup against the Los Angeles Lakers. However, he went on to post a three-point performance the next game. That being said, Yurtseven is likely too shaky of a option to trust in most fantasy formats for Saturday's slate. Kelly Olynyk figures to split up the minutes with Yurtseven, so neither of them are going to be great fantasy options.
The Miami Heat have decided to let Omer Yurtseven enter unrestricted free agency. The 25-year-old has shown some promise during his NBA career, but injuries and a lack of playing time have hindered his development. Yurtseven only managed to suit up for nine games during the 2022-;2023 season due to his recovery from left ankle surgery, and he averaged only 4.4 points, 2.6 rebounds, and 0.2 assists. Some contending teams with limited cap space could take a chance on Yurtseven. If healthy, he could be a good role player.
Miami Heat center Omer Yurtseven appears to see his future away from the team. The 24-year-old appeared in just nine regular-season games in 2022-23 and he would like to get more playing time. "I think my priority is to play," Yurtseven said when discussing his free agency plans. The Turkish center is set to be a restricted free agent if Miami makes a $2.26 million qualifying offer. We saw very little of Yurtseven this term, but he showed plenty of upside a season ago when he averaged 12.1 points and 12.7 rebounds in 12 starts.
