Instant analysis: How the injury to Korkmaz impacts the Sixers

According to Keith Pompey of the Philadelphia Inquirer, former Sixers first-rounder Furkan Korkmaz will be sidelined for roughly two weeks with a left adductor strain.

This is a blow to the 23-year-old who posted 11 points in the season-opening win over Washington, nailing 3 of 5 three-point attempts. Since then, he’s been much colder. A combined 7 points in 25 minutes over the last two games have not been good enough at all.

Last season with the Sixers, Furkan averaged 9.8 points and shot 40.2% from beyond the three-point arc on 4.
