The trade deadline has officially come and gone and the Philadelphia 76ers only made one move when they sent Matisse Thybulle to the Portland Trail Blazers in a 3-team deal that netted them Jalen McDaniels from the Charlotte Hornets.
While moving Thybulle is not surprising as his name was involved in trade rumors in recent weeks, one name that was not moved was Furkan Korkmaz who requested a trade shortly before the trade deadline.
As the trade deadline buzzer sounded, Korkmaz remained on the roster as the Sixers did not have a deal in the works. The six-year veteran out of Turkey recently expressed a desire to play as he has not been in the rotation as of late. That will likely be the same with McDaniels now joining the team.
Furkan Korkmaz remained on the Sixers roster past the trade deadline. The Sixers guard had requested to be moved.
