Omer Yurtseven signed a 1+1 deal with Panathinaikos Athens and will return to the EuroLeague after an 8-year break.
Panathinaikos AKTOR Athens officially added another player to their EuroLeague championship roster.
The Greek club announced that Omer Yurtseven is joining the team on a 1+1 deal.
"I feel particularly excited to now belong to the Panathinaikos family, the team I watched a few months ago win the Euroleague. It's a unique feeling," the player said following the signing.
The player will earn around 1 million euros per season, SDNA reported. Yurtseven will join Mathias Lessort and Aleksander Balcerowski in the backcourt.
Yurtseven averaged 4.6 points and 4.3 rebounds per game for the Utah Jazz last season. Yurtseven had signed a two-year deal with the Jazz in 2023, but the second year of the contract was non-guaranteed, and the player became a free agent after getting waived.
Before playing for the Jazz, Yurtseven represented the Miami Heat, averaging 5.2 points and 4.9 rebounds in the two seasons with the club.
This will be Yurtseven's comeback to the EuroLeague, as he previously played for Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul 8 years ago.
