Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul has bolstered its banged-up backcourt by signing veteran guard Errick McCollum for the remainder of the season.
McCollum (1.88 meters, 36 years old) joins Fenerbahce after spending the past two and half seasons in the Turkish League with Pinar Karsiyaka. He averaged 16 points and 5.2 assists in 12 Turkish League games this season.
McCollum brings a wealth of experience at the top levels of Europe, including two seasons in the EuroLeague. The first of those came with Fenerbahce’s cross-town rival Anadolu Efes Istanbul in 2017-18 and the second was with Khimki Moscow Region in 2020-21. He averaged 13.1 points and 2.3 assists with 57 EuroLeague games between those seasons.
The 2015-16 EuroCup MVP, McCollum left his mark on that competition, which he won with Galatasaray Istanbul in 2016. McCollum also played for Panionios Athens, UNICS Kazan and Lokomotiv Kuban Krasnodar in the EuroCup. He is third all-time in EuroCup scoring with 1,489 points.
McCollum previously played professionally for Elitzur Netanya and Hapoel Kfar Saba in Israel, Apollon Patras in Greece, and Zhejiang and Beikong in China.
