Yurtseven will miss his second consecutive Summer League game with a quad injury that he suffered in the World Cup qualifiers with Turkey. Previous reports have stated that his absence is more out of caution rather than anything serious which is a good sign. The 24-year-old will be entering his second season with the team following a stellar rookie year where he provided solid frontcourt minutes off the bench.
In 2021, Yurtseven averaged 5.3 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 0.9 assists in 56 games with the Heat. This doesn’t seem like an injury to be concerned about, but it’s worth monitoring if he is able to make an appearance at this year’s remaining Summer League games for Miami.
