Real Madrid Secures Ömer Yurtseven Pending Medical

He is set to help in Spain’s playoffs due to EuroLeague registration limits.

Overview

  • Club spokesperson Pilar Casado said the agreement is in place pending a medical, with a deal running through the end of the season.
  • EuroLeague registration closed weeks ago, which makes Yurtseven ineligible for Real Madrid’s Final Four roster.
  • Real Madrid can register him for the Liga Endesa postseason, where the team enters as the top seed and seeks frontcourt depth.
  • The move follows injuries to centers Edy Tavares and Alex Len, with reports indicating the team needed immediate cover at the position.
  • Yurtseven left Panathinaikos on February 28, then played in the G League and logged nine games with the Golden State Warriors, averaging 3.8 points and 3.3 rebounds after posting 6.3 and 3.5 in 19 EuroLeague games earlier in the season.
