Overview

  • Fenerbahçe announced the signing Saturday, confirming the former Lakers, Jazz and Bulls guard will make his first professional move overseas.
  • Horton-Tucker, 24, played 305 NBA games and won a 2020 title with the Lakers, carrying career averages of 9.2 points, 2.8 assists and 2.6 rebounds in 19.5 minutes.
