Dwight Powell finalizing one-year deal with Fenerbahce

Dwight Powell is finalising a one-year deal with Fenerbahce, according to BasketNews, after being waived by the Dallas Mavericks before the season. The 35-year-old centre spent 12 seasons in the NBA and averaged 6.5 points and 4.3 rebounds in 763 games, shooting 60.5%.

Dwight Powell está perto de continuar a carreira na Europa, com o veterano pivô finalizando um contrato de um ano com o clube turco Fenerbahce, segundo Donatas Urbonas, do BasketNews.

O Dallas Mavericks dispensou Powell antes do início da temporada regular. O canadense, de 35 anos, havia passado quase toda a carreira de 12 anos na NBA em Dallas, chegando de Boston em uma troca durante a temporada de novato, em 2014.

Em 763 partidas da temporada regular pelos Mavericks, o ala-pivô de 6 pés e 11 polegadas teve médias de 6,5 pontos e 4,3 rebotes em 17,6 minutos, com 60,5% de aproveitamento nos arremessos. Ele foi titular frequente no garrafão no início da carreira antes de se acomodar em um papel modesto de banco, valorizado tanto pela presença no vestiário quanto pela produção.

Na temporada passada, ele teve 3,3 pontos e 4,1 rebotes em 14,3 minutos em 63 jogos.

Powell estava no acampamento neste outono com um contrato mínimo parcialmente garantido de US$ 1 milhão, mas mantê-lo teria forçado o escritório a negociar ou cortar alguém com contrato totalmente garantido — então ele ficou de fora quando Dallas definiu o elenco de 15 jogadores.

Havia especulação de que ele poderia voltar mais tarde na temporada se uma vaga abrisse, mas agora ele parece encaminhado para o primeiro contato com a Euroliga.

O Fenerbahce, sediado em Istambul, tem sido um dos principais times da competição nos últimos anos, chegando ao Final Four em cada uma das últimas três temporadas e vencendo o título em 2025. O elenco inclui vários ex-jogadores da NBA: Shane Larkin, Talen Horton-Tucker, Braxton Key, Wade Baldwin, Trent Forrest, Nicolo Melli e Johnny Juzang.
