Korkmaz was drafted with the 26th pick overall by the Sixers in the 2016 NBA Draft. Earlier in the summer, the Sixers decline a team option from his rookie contract for the 2019-2020 season and now he is rejoining the team.
He has played two seasons with the Sixers and a total of 62 games. In the past season, he averaged 5.8 points, 2.2 rebounds, 1.1 assists in 14 minutes per game while shooting 32.6 percent from the three-point line.
