Korkmaz finished Saturday's 135-82 win over the Hornets with one assist in four minutes.
EDGE Analysis
Korkmaz played fewer than 10 minutes for the 19th consecutive game. The sample size thus far tells us everything we need to know about how underwhelming Korkmaz has been. Given he has scored a total of 36 points in almost two months, managers can safely avoid him in all formats.

Korkmaz totaled 10 points (4-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), one rebound and three steals over 22 minutes during Thursday's 114-99 victory over Toronto.
EDGE Analysis
Korkmaz reportedly requested to be included in the James Harden trade, but Philadelphia wanted to retain the sharpshooter. Korkmaz played just 9.5 minutes per game last year, his fewest since his rookie campaign, and he didn't see any playing time during the first two games of this season. However, he saw his first extended action Thursday and showed what he's capable of when given a chance. With the Harden saga in the rearview mirror, the 76ers may opt to give Korkmaz more minutes moving forward, but he could quickly fall back down the depth chart when Kenyon Martin, Marcus Morris and Nicolas Batum (personal) get acclimated with Philadelphia's system.

Korkmaz (hamstring) is expected to play in Friday's preseason game against the Hawks, Gina Mizell of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
EDGE Analysis
Korkmaz is slated to make his 2023-24 preseason debut after missing the start of training camp due to a hamstring issue. The sharpshooter has handled a modest depth role in Philadelphia for six straight years and should garner a similar role this season.

Korkmaz (hamstring) won't play in Monday's preseason game against Brooklyn, Tim Bontemps of ESPN reports.

Forkmaz (leg) returned to practice Sunday, but he's unlikely to play in Monday's preseason matchup versus Brooklyn, Ky Carlin of USA Today reports.
EDGE Analysis
Forkmaz has yet to make his preseason debut, but it appears he's inching closer to a return. Following Monday's contest, the 76ers have only one exhibition remaining -- Oct. 20 versus Atlanta -- before they open the 2023-24 regular season against the Bucks on Oct. 26.

The 76ers hope Korkmaz (leg) can return to practice Sunday with the expectation he will be available for Monday's preseason matchup with the Nets, Austin Krell of USA Today reports.
EDGE Analysis
Given Monday's game is just an exhibition contest, Korkmaz's leg injury does not seem too serious. He is looking to return from a two-game absence. When healthy, the veteran is projected to provide depth on the wing for Philly.

Forkmaz (leg) won't play Wednesday against the Celtics, but he is expected to suit up Monday for a preseason game in Brooklyn, Noah Levick of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
EDGE Analysis
Korkmaz will miss back-to-back preseason games to open the season, but he should be back to full strength next week. The sharpshooter is competing with Kelly Oubre, Danny Green, Danuel House and De'Anthony Melton for wing minutes in 2023-24.
