A Turkish basketball player in NBA, Ersan Ilyasova is set to complete his move to the Utah Jazz on Tuesday, a senior NBA insider said.
"Free agent forward Ersan Ilyasova is signing a deal with the Utah Jazz for the rest of the season, sources tell ESPN," Adrian Wojnarowski said on Twitter.
He added that Ilyasova, 33, is now in a COVID-19 testing protocol that he must complete to be a Jazz player.
