Richaun Holmes is considering a move overseas, writes Kevin Martorano of Sportando. Mortando cites an original report by Telesport, which states that Holmes has been in conversations with Fenerbahce, the reigning EuroLeague champion, about a contract that would pay him approximately $2.7MM per year.
Holmes, according to the report, has yet to agree to the deal, as he is waiting to see if an NBA offer materializes as the remaining bigger names in free agency go off the board. Should no offer be forthcoming, he is expected to join the Turkish powerhouse.
Holmes has played 10 years in the NBA, most recently for the Wizards, with whom he averaged 7.4 points, 5.7 rebounds, and 0.7 blocks in 17.2 minutes per night. He came into the league in 2015 as part of the Process Sixers and saw his most success as the part-time starter for the Kings from 2019-2022, averaging 12.5 points, 7.9 rebounds, and 1.3 blocks over three seasons.
Fenerbahce has reportedly prioritized adding a defensive center to its roster heading into next season.
