After the departures of Nick Weiler-Babb, Saben Lee, Rolands Smits, and Cole Swider, Vincent Poirier will also leave the Turkiye.
The French big man has struggled with injuries since arriving in 2024 from Real Madrid, playing only 14 EuroLeague games this season.
Poirier has averaged 8 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 11.0 PIR in 18 minutes per game this year.
Last season, he played 39 EuroLeague games, averaging 9.5 points and 5 rebounds in 21 minutes.
Poirier, who turns 33 this October, is set to be one of the most exciting names on the market among the available centers.
