Furkan Korkmaz to Play and Start for Sixers Tonight in Summer League

Remember when it seemed like Furkan Korkmaz was never coming over? 

Well, he's playing tonight against the Jazz (9 ET on TCN/CSNPhilly.com and NBC Sports app).

The Sixers' 26th overall pick in the 2016 draft, who just signed on Tuesday after playing overseas since being drafted, will play and start for the Sixers tonight in Utah in summer league action. 

"Furkan Korkmaz is in the fold and playing tonight," Sixers summer league coach John Bryant said. "We are very excited." 

Korkmaz, the 19-year-old shooting guard from Turkey, was on loan from Anadolu Efes to Banvit last season and took Best Young Player honors in the Basketball Champions League, where he averaged 10.4 points, 4.1 rebounds and 2.1 assists per game.
