Former Cav Anthony Bennett cut from Fenerbahce Instanbul

Anthony Bennett, who was selected by the Cleveland Cavaliers with the first overall pick in the 2013 NBA Draft, was just cut from the Euroleague’s Fenerbahce Instanbul, according to Bugra Uzar of EuroHoops.net.

Bennett was waived by the Brooklyn Nets in January,

Fenerbahce is in the Euroleague’s Turkish Basketball Super League (BSL), the Euroleague circuit where David Blatt currently coaches the Darüu015fu015fafaka Dogus and Cedi Osman currently plays for Anadolu Efes.

Bennett was waived in order for the team to make room for former NBA center Pero Antic as the team has limited roster spots for international players (again, the team in based in Turkey).
