Last season, Furkan Korkmaz shot a career-worst 28.9% from three-point range and lost playing time. He’s hoping to recover from that performance and re-enter the Sixers’ rotation.
Shortly after the All-Star break, Furkan Korkmaz began feeling weakness in his right shoulder, causing the power down his dominant arm to dwindle.
What was eventually diagnosed as nerve damage is what Korkmaz calls the primary culprit for a 2021-22 season he described as “horrible” and “terrible.” He shot a career-worst 28.9% from three-point range, including 23.7% on 2.4 attempts in 16 games after the break, and slipped out of the Sixers’ rotation.Based on the way last season unfolded, Korkmaz said was not offended by his team’s offseason moves to upgrade depth.
Korkmaz cannot pinpoint a moment last season when the nerve damage occurred, but surmised it could have resulted from contact while playing more point guard when COVID-19 and injuries depleted the Sixers’ backcourt in January. Korkmaz said the medical staff initially struggled to diagnose his ailment because various tests came back negative. Maxey added earlier this week that he was unaware that there was anything physically wrong with Korkmaz last season.“That was hard,” Korkmaz said.
“Shots that were not feeling right still were going in,” Korkmaz said. “That means I’m in a good direction in the process. I just need to keep it going.”Tyrese Maxey continues preseason tear, raising already high expectations for Sixers star
