Real Madrid is reportedly strengthening their roster with the addition of center Omer Jurtseven, a veteran of both the NBA and Euroleague. According to foreign media, the Spanish champions are looking to bolster their lineup with Jurtseven, who will join the team for the end of the season to prepare for the ACB playoffs. However, he will not be eligible to play in the Euroleague.

Jurtseven began the season with Panathinaikos in the Euroleague before moving to the NBA G League and spending time with the Golden State Warriors. In the NBA, he played in nine games, averaging 3.8 points and 3.3 rebounds per game. In the Euroleague, he averaged 6.3 points and 3.5 rebounds per game in less than 13 minutes of playing time for Panathinaikos.

Real Madrid recently lost their centers Edy Tavares and Aleks Len, leaving Usman Garuba as the only standard option at the center position. The team finished the regular season at the top of the ACB league and is now preparing for the Euroleague playoffs, where they will face Valencia in the semi-finals.
