Ataman's Decision - Yurtseven Leaves Panathinaikos

Panathinaikos decided to terminate its cooperation with Omer Yurtseven, activating the relevant clause in his contract. The Turkish center became a free agent a few days after winning the Cup in Crete. The team will rely on Mathias Lessort, Risone Holmes, Kenneth Faried, and Dinos Mitoglou for the center position. Yurtseven had previously made moves to lift a ban imposed on him in the past, in order to be able to play in the Turkish league.
