Fenerbahçe Beko on Wednesday signed Serbian center Boban Marjanovic, one of the world’s tallest basketball players.
In a statement, Fenerbahçe said 2.24-meter (7 foot 4 inches) tall Marjanovic sealed a one-year deal with the Istanbul powerhouse to return to European basketball.
Marjanovic, 36, has spent the last nine years in the NBA, most recently playing for the Houston Rockets.
He also played for the San Antonio Spurs, Detroit Pistons, Los Angeles Clippers, Philadelphia 76ers, and Dallas Mavericks for the premier U.S. league.
Marjanovic averaged 3.2 points and 2.3 rebounds in 14 NBA games last season at the Rockets.
The experienced center also played for CSKA Moscow, Zalgiris Kaunas, and Crvena Zvezda Meridianbet Belgrade before his big move to the Spurs.
Playing in EuroBasket 2017, he helped Serbia bring home a silver medal.
