Free agent forward Nemanja Bjelica has agreed to a contract with Turkish club Fenerbahce, the team announced in a press release. The deal is for two years, per Johnny Askounis of Eurohoops.
Bjelica, 34, is 6-foot-10 and is fresh off winning an NBA championship with the Warriors. Along the way, he appeared in 71 games and averaged 6.1 points and 4.1 rebounds.
The Warriors were looking to bring back Bjelica on a minimum contract, though he will likely make a little more and get more playing time with Fenerbahce.
Originally drafted by the Wizards with the No. 35 overall pick in the 2010 NBA Draft, and Bjelica was immediately traded to the Timberwolves. He also spent time with the Kings and Heat, and is currently in training camp with the Serbian national team ahead of the 2022 Eurobasket.
