Fenerbahce Istanbul are reportedly finalizing an agreement to sign veteran NBA center Dwight Powell to a one-year contract.
According to BasketNews, the Turkish club has been negotiating with the 35-year-old Canadian for some time, with several other teams also expressing interest in acquiring him.
Powell recently became a free agent following the NBA’s final roster cuts in October, opening the door for a potential move to European basketball.
The 208 cm center spent more than a decade with the Dallas Mavericks, establishing himself as a reliable rotation player known for his energy, physicality, and efficiency around the basket.
During his 13-year NBA career, Powell appeared in 768 games, averaging 6.5 points, 4.2 rebounds, and 1.0 assist in 17.5 minutes per contest.
Last season, he contributed 3.3 points, 4.1 rebounds, and 1.1 assists in 14 minutes per game while shooting 64.4% from the field.
Powell also brings significant postseason experience, having been part of the Mavericks team that reached the 2024 NBA Finals.
