Orlando Magic sharpshooter Hedo Turkoglu’s next shot will be at free agency.
Lon Babby, the agent for Turkoglu, told the Orlando Sentinel on Monday that his client will opt out of his contract and become a free agent in two weeks.
“It would make sense for him to opt out,” Babby told the newspaper by phone. “I can’t imagine a scenario in which he would not.”
June 30 is the first day players can declare for free agency. In Turkoglu’s case, it wouldn’t matter if the Magic choose to re-sign the 6-foot-10 forward.
Turkoglu will be entering the final year of a $36 million, six-year contract. He is scheduled to make $7.3 million next season under terms of that deal.
