Furkan Korkmaz is heading into the final year of his deal after coming off the worst three-point shooting season (28.9%) of his career. Sources have said that Indiana Pacers were one of the team’s that inquired about him before last season’s trade deadlines. The belief at that time was a change of scenery may help the four-year wing player jump start his career. Now, sources are saying he’s part of the group of the players the Sixers are putting out feelers on to test the market.
