Basketball News & NBA Rumors

With the NBA lockout threatening to drag on and on, Orlando Magic small forward Hedo Turkoglu is open to the idea of playing abroad.

Turkoglu is weighing and considering opportunities with European franchises, his agent, Jim Tanner, told the Orlando Sentinel on Thursday.

Tanner said that any deal would have to be “a good fit from a basketball standpoint,” but also would have to allow Turkoglu to return to the NBA if the lockout ends. Turkoglu also would have to have disability insurance coverage.
