Time in Golden State ends Yurtseven became a free agent after his second 10-day contract with the Warriors expired Saturday, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.

Impact Golden State will have the ability to retain Yurtseven on a rest-of-season deal, but Danny Emerman of SFStandard.com relays that the 27-year-old center had already been saying his goodbyes to teammates following Thursday's loss to the Cavaliers. With that in mind, Golden State appears set to replace Yurtseven on the 15-man roster with another player. Over the course of his two 10-day deals, Yurtseven appeared in nine games and averaged 3.8 points, 3.3 rebounds and 0.9 steals in 11.6 minutes while shooting 42.3 percent from the field.

Productive off bench in loss Yurtseven racked up 17 points (6-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 5-6 FT), eight rebounds, four assists and one block across 29 minutes off the bench during Wednesday's 127-113 loss to the Spurs.

Impact Getting onto the court for the ninth time in the last 10 games for the injury-depleted Warriors, Yurtseven set season highs in minutes, points, boards and assists. The 27-year-old center will likely return to the end of the bench Thursday with Kristaps Porzingis (illness) and Quinten Post (foot) both expected back in the lineup for the second night of a back-to-back.

Re-signs with Warriors Yurtseven signed a second 10-day contract with the Warriors on Wednesday, Anthony Slater of ESPN.com reports.

Impact This is an expected signing for Golden State's depleted frontcourt. Across five appearances, Yurtseven has averaged 11.2 minutes per contest.

MARCH 25 • ROTOWIRE

Reaches free agency Yurtseven became a free agent Wednesday after his 10-day contract with the Warriors expired, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.

Impact Golden State will have the ability to retain Yurtseven on a second 10-day deal or a rest-of-season contract, but it's unclear if the team intends to re-sign the veteran center prior to Wednesday's game against Brooklyn. Over the course of his initial 10-day deal, Yurtseven averaged 3.2 points, 3.2 rebounds and 0.8 assists in 11.2 minutes per game over his first five appearances before he was left out of the rotation in Monday's 137-131 overtime win over the Mavericks.

MARCH 25 • ROTOWIRE

Drops out of rotation Yurtseven (coach's decision) went unused off the bench Monday in the Warriors' 137-131 overtime win over the Mavericks.

Impact After signing a 10-day deal with Golden State on March 15, Yurtseven had appeared in each of the Warriors' previous five games and averaged 3.2 points and 3.2 rebounds in 11.2 minutes per contest. Though Quentin Post (foot) joined Al Horford (calf) on the sideline for Monday's contest, the return of Kristaps Porzingis (back) from a one-game absence was enough to bump Yurtseven from the rotation.

Increased role in loss Yurtseven had eight points (3-7 FG, 2-6 FT), six rebounds, two assists and one steal over 21 minutes during Friday's 115-101 loss to the Pistons.

Impact Yurtseven logged a season-high 21 minutes, playing a sizeable role after Kristaps Porzingis was ruled out due to a back injury. Already dealing with a paper-thin frontcourt, Golden State now has another injury to deal with. Should Porzingis be forced to miss additional time, Yurtseven could find himself serving as the backup center, making him a name to watch in slightly deeper formats.

MARCH 15 • BLUEMANHOOP.COM

Expected to sign 10-day contract The Warriors are expected to sign Omer Yurtseven to a 10-day contract, per NBA reporter Marc Stein.

Impact Golden State is turning to Yurtseven to provide immediate frontcourt reinforcement as the team navigates a brutal injury crisis. The Warriors' depth was decimated during Friday's loss to Minnesota, where Al Horford (calf) and Quinten Post (ankle) both exited early, joining Draymond Green (back) and Kristaps Porzingis (illness management) on the sidelines, so the Warriors were essentially left without a healthy center on the roster.

MARCH 14 • ROTOWIRE

Agrees to deal with Panathinaikos Yurtseven agreed to a deal with Panathinaikos on Monday, Eurohoops reports.

Impact The deal isn't finalized yet, but the 6-foot-11 big man is expected to return to Europe to finish his career. After spending three years with Fenerbache to start his basketball career, Yurtseven went to the United States for college in 2016. He spent four years at NC State before transferring to Georgetown. He wasn't selected in the 2020 NBA Draft but received a G League opportunity and worked his way into the Heat's rotation in 2021, averaging 5.3 points and 5.3 rebounds in 12.6 minutes across 56 appearances (12 starts). After making only nine appearances for Miami in 2022, Yurtseven joined the Jazz in 2023 and played 48 games (12 starts), averaging 4.6 points and 4.3 rebounds in 11.4 minutes.

AUGUST 20, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Likely to be released by Jazz The Jazz are planning to waive Yurtseven Sunday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

Impact The Jazz are planning to part ways with Yurtseven, who averaged 4.6 points and 0.6 rebounds in 11.4 minutes per game across 48 appearances last season. Yurtseven will likely garner interest from teams in a limited, backup big man role.

JUNE 30, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Productive in season finale Sunday Yurtseven supplied 11 points (5-12 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 18 rebounds and two assists over 30 minutes during Sunday's 123-116 loss to the Warriors.

Impact Yurtseven spent most of the season as the third-string center behind John Collins (back) and Walker Kessler (nose), but since both were ruled out for the season finale, Yurtseven stepped into a starting role and looked quite good, posting a double-double and making his presence felt on the glass. Yurtseven started Utah's final six games of the campaign, scoring in double digits four times and posting two double-doubles in that span.

APRIL 15, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Double-double against Nuggets Yurtseven ended with 20 points (9-14 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 11 rebounds, two assists and two steals in 37 minutes during Tuesday's 111-95 loss to Denver.

Impact Making his third straight start in the absence of John Collins (back) and Walker Kessler (nose), Yurtseven delivered his first double-double of the season. The 25-year-old center has averaged 13.3 points, 8.3 boards, 1.0 assists and 1.0 steals during his brief starting stint, and with Utah headed back to the draft lottery, Yurtseven could see a significant tole over the final handful of games left on the schedule.

APRIL 10, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Posts 12 points in starting role Yurtseven registered 12 points (6-10 FG), seven rebounds, one assist and one steal over 21 minutes during Friday's 131-102 loss to the Clippers.

Impact Yurtseven garnered the start with John Collins (back) and Walker Kessler (nose) on the sidelines, and although he struggled alongside the rest of the starters, he's proven to be an effective placeholder when called upon. He's started 22 games with the Jazz this season, a decrease from his 40 starts during his rookie season, but the 22-year old is developing over time. The Auburn product will provide solid backup support regardless of where he ends up. His youth is a solid indicator that the Jazz will want to keep him on the payroll as they rebuild in the offseason.

APRIL 6, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Starting against Clippers Yurtseven will start against the Clippers on Friday, Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Impact John Collins (back) and Walker Kessler (nose) are both sidelined, so Yurtseven could have a sizable role Friday night. In six starts this season, Yurtseven averaged 6.0 points, 8.7 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 1.0 blocks.

APRIL 6, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Gets green light Yurtseven (ankle) is available for Monday's game against the Mavericks.

Impact Yurtseven will return to action Monday after missing Saturday's loss to the Rockets due to a right ankle sprain. However, Utah is at full strength, save for Kris Dunn (suspension), so it's unclear how big of a role Yurtseven will have off the bench.

MARCH 25, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Listed as questionable for Monday Yurtseven (ankle) is questionable for Monday's game against Dallas.

Impact Yurtseven sat out Saturday's game against the Rockets due to a right ankle sprain, and it's unclear whether he'll be able to return to action Monday. If he's available, Yurtseven is unlikely to see significant playing time.

MARCH 24, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Not playing Saturday Yurtseven (ankle) is out for Saturday's game against the Rockets, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Impact Yurtseven logged 21 minutes in the 113-97 loss to the Mavericks on Thursday, but he'll miss this one, marking his fourth absence since the beginning of March. His next chance to play will come against Dallas on Monday.

MARCH 23, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Saturday Yurtseven is questionable to play Saturday against the Rockets due to a right ankle sprain.

Impact Yurtseven hasn't played much for the Jazz in recent weeks, averaging just 12.3 minutes per game since the beginning of March. However, his absence could prove to be a big one Saturday since Lauri Markkanen (injury maintenance) is out and John Collins (face) is questionable, leaving the frontcourt quite thin in terms of depth.

MARCH 22, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Rare appearance in victory Yurtseven racked up three points (1-1 FG, 1-1 3Pt) and one rebound in three minutes during Sunday's 128-109 win over the Spurs.

Impact Yurtseven played three minutes in garbage time, entering the rotation for just the fourth time in the past 10 games. Despite his fantasy-friendly game, there simply aren't enough minutes to go around for Yurtseven to have any sustainable value. If the Jazz decide to lean into their second and third units down the stretch, he could pop up on radars as a per-minute streaming consideration.
