Journeyman center arrives to Istanbul.
Besiktas puts Emanuel Terry in the paint
Besiktas Fibabanka Istanbul signed center Emanuel Terry to a one-year deal, the club announced on Friday. Terry (2.06 meters, 27 years old) arrives from a fellow Turkish side Manisa where he averaged 12.8 points and 8.5 rebounds in the Turkish League action.
Terry, who will be making his BKT EuroCup debut, has had quite a journey in his career so far.
He turned pro in the 2018-19 season in which he played in the G-League with Canton and Sioux Falls, while also appearing in a game apiece with NBA sides Phoenix Suns and Miami Heat. The next season was his first stint in Europe, with Bandirma in Turkey and Hapoel Jerusalem in Israel, then joined Crvena Zvezda Belgrade for the first part of the 2020-21 season, where he made his Turkish Airlines EuroLeague debut, too.
Terry finished that season in the G-League with Ontario, then the season after played with Stockton in the G-League and made three more appearance in the NBA with the Suns. He finished 2021-22 in France with Orleans, then moved to South Korean club Seoul for the first part of 2022-23. He played second part of that campaign in Italy, first with Trieste then Udine. Last season with Manisa was the first in Terry's career that he started and finished with the same club.
