Free-agent wing Talen Horton-Tucker has reached an agreement with Turkish powerhouse Fenerbahce, but the contract includes a 21-day window that allows him to sign with an NBA team if an offer materializes, according to Marc Stein.
The 24-year-old swingman finished the 2023-24 season with the Chicago Bulls. Initially added on an Exhibit 10 deal, his contract was converted to a guaranteed pact in January. Horton-Tucker appeared in 53 games for Chicago, averaging 6.7 points across 17.0 minutes per contest.
