Once a Los Angeles Lakers darling, Talen Horton-Tucker is on his way out of the NBA. That is the same player Rob Pelinka chose to prioritize over beloved role player Alex Caruso.
Donatas Urbonas reported, "EuroLeague champions Fenerbahce Istanbul are finalizing a deal with six-year NBA guard Talen Horton-Tucker, sources tell BasketNews."
Urbonas did clarify in his report that the Horton-Tucker deal is not quite done yet. The former Lakers guard is still leaving himself the opportunity to find a spot on an NBA roster before fully committing to the European move.
However, Urbonas noted if that opportunity does not present itself then Horton-Tucker is fully expected to begin his career overseas.
