The Sixers have agreed to re-sign wing Furkan Korkmaz on a three-year, $15 million contract, agents Mike Lindeman and Jeff Schwartz told ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski (Twitter link).
Philadelphia has full Bird rights on Korkmaz, which will allow it to ink him without cutting into its mid-level exception, ESPN’s Bobby Marks tweets.
Korkmaz was a late first-round pick in 2016 and joined Philadelphia the following season. Last season, he appeared in 55 games, including 11 starts, and averaged 9.1 PPG. He’s a career 37.7% 3-point shooter and he’s taken 786 of his 1,260 career shot attempts from beyond the arc.
He’ll once again add depth at the small forward spot for an organization angling to make deeper playoff runs.
