Free agent forward Isaiah Mobley has agreed to a deal with Manisa Basket in Turkey’s Basketball Super League, the club announced on Monday.
The 6-foot-8 wing, selected 49th overall in the 2022 NBA Draft, spent parts of the last three seasons with the Cleveland Cavaliers and Philadelphia 76ers. He appeared in 23 total NBA games, averaging 2.6 points and 1.5 rebounds across 7.5 minutes per contest.
Mobley’s most recent NBA action came under a hardship exception with Philadelphia at the close of the 2024-25 season. In the regular-season finale against Chicago, he logged 17 minutes and contributed six points, five assists and four boards in a loss.
Although his NBA résumé is limited, the older brother of reigning NBA Defensive Player of the Year Evan Mobley produced strong numbers in the G League, posting 21.5 points and 8.7 rebounds per game for the Cleveland Charge in 2022-23. He also earned MVP honors in the 2023 Las Vegas Summer League championship game after recording 28 points and 11 rebounds to secure the title for Cleveland.
Manisa Basket is coming off an 11-19 campaign that left the club tied for 12th in the 16-team Turkish league. The organization will look to Mobley’s scoring and versatility as it aims to climb the standings next season.
