Turkoglu said Tuesday that he will wait to make a decision on his future until later this summer, Sportando reports. "I have not decided yet what to do when the contract with the Clippers expires," Turkoglu said. "Will I play again in the NBA? Will I return to Turkey? Will I play basketball again? I don't know. I'll decide about my career in August."
Turkoglu is set to be a free agent on July 1 after spending last season with the Clippers. At 36 years old, his best days are behind him, but there's a chance he could catch on with another contending team as an end-of-the-bench, veteran's minimum guy. Another option is returning to play overseas. The Turkey native has said that he'll entertain that possibility, though if he plays overseas he's made it clear it would only be for Fenerbahce. Turkoglu appeared in 62 games this season, averaging 3.7 points and 1.6 rebounds in 11.4 minutes.

Turkoglu (ankle), who was injured in Game 3, was able to play in Game 4 and logged one minute of action.
Turkoglu has played just 17 minutes throughout the first four games of the series, and he's limited to a bench role for the Clippers. Although it appears he's healthy, he probably won't be much of a factor, considering he's averaging just 4 minutes per game.

Turkoglu sprained his ankle but coach Doc Rivers said he's fine for Game 4 against the Spurs on Sunday, the Orange County Register reports.
Turkoglu has played a total of 16 minutes through the first three games of the playoffs so he can manage his normal role off the bench even with a bum ankle. Although, coach Doc Rivers may decide to leave him on the shelf depending on the flow of the game. Either way, Turkoglu is not an ideal option moving forward.
Thu Apr 23 201518:01Turkoglu averaging 3.5 minutes in two games this postseason
Turkoglu is averaging 3.5 minutes in two games this postseason.
Coach Doc Rivers is playing a shortened rotation, and Turkoglu is on the fringe of it. He is not getting enough minutes to have an impact, and can be largely ignored in all formats.
Sat Mar 21 201511:13Turkoglu moved back to normal bench role Friday against Wizards ...
Turkoglu moved back to his normal bench role Friday against the Wizards since Matt Barnes (hamstring) returned to the lineup. The backup finished with six points, one rebound, and two assists in 12 minutes.
Turkoglu benefited from two stints in the starting lineup but should see lackluster minutes off the bench for as long as Matt Barnes stays healthy. Because of this, Turkoglu's value is confined to the deepest of formats.

Turkoglu compiled six points (2-6 FG, 2-5 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist, and one block in 21 minutes in his first start replacing Matt Barnes (hamstring).
Turkoglu is the nominal small forward, but expect limited minutes and production because J.J. Redick will see his share of small forward minutes. The starting lineup could change Wednesday against the Kings since the Clippers are in the market for an actual small forward.

Turkoglu will start for Matt Barnes (hamstring) in Tuesday's game against the Hornets, the Orange County Register reports.
Turkoglu has a chance to see extended minutes in his role at starting small forward against the Hornets. The Clippers have a quick turnaround and will play the Kings on Wednesday so Turkoglu may benefit from multiple starts if Barnes needs extra days to rest.
Sun Mar 8 201520:09Turkoglu finished with 12 points (4-7 FG, 4-7 3Pt), one rebound,...
Turkoglu finished with 12 points (4-7 FG, 4-7 3Pt), one rebound, and one steal in 21 minutes off the bench during Sunday's loss to the Warriors.
Turkoglu has seen extended playing time over his last two games, as an injury to Jamal Crawford (calf) opened up some playing time for him. He's averaging 10.0 points, 4.5 rebounds, and two assists over his last two games. While Crawford may continue to sit for the next week or so, Turkoglu will still remain limited in his fantasy value, so don't expect him to provide much moving forward.

Turkoglu put up nine points (3-6 FG, 3-6 3Pt), four rebounds, and one steal in 19 minutes Monday against the Mavericks.
Turkoglu has seen double-digit minutes in each of in last two games. With Blake Griffin (elbow) out for at least three weeks, it is possible Turkoglu could continue to see an increase in minutes in the frontcourt, but he should only be considered as an option in the deepest of leagues.

Turkoglu is dealing with a stomach virus and will not take the court against the Raptors on Friday, Rowan Kavner of Clippers.com reports.
Turkoglu should be considered day-to-day ahead of Sunday's game against the Thunder. At just 9.2 minutes per game this season, his minutes will likely get evenly distributed across the active roster while he's sidelined.
Wed Nov 5 201413:14Hedo Turkoglu: Assuming Bench Warmer Role Early
Turkoglu has averaged only six minutes in three appearances for the Clippers this season.
No surprise here, as the Clippers view Turkoglu as more of a power forward than a wing player at this point in his career. With stars Blake Griffin and DeAndre Jordan firmly entrenched in starting roles, and Spencer Hawes soaking up much of the backup minutes for both guys, Turkoglu will be relegated to bench warmer duty unless Doc Rivers decides to shake things up.
Fri Oct 24 201415:01Hedo Turkoglu: Clippers Hoping For Bigger Impact
Turkoglu is in better shape entering this season, and the Clippers hope for him to have a bigger impact off their bench, the LA Times reports.
Turkoglu currently only has value in the deepest of leagues, but if he can carve out a prominent role off the bench for the Clippers he could be of some use to owners looking for low-end points, rebounds, and assists. For now, leave Turkoglu on the waiver wire, but monitor his role moving forward.
Fri Sep 12 201419:40Hedo Turkoglu: Signs With Clippers
Turkoglu signed a one-year deal with the Clippers on Friday, the Orange County Register reports.
The 35-year-old played a minimal role on the Clippers last season and there's no reason to believe why it'll be any different during the Clippers' 2014-15 campaign. Turkoglu averaged 10.3 minutes per game which only allowed for 3.0 points, 2.3 rebounds, 0.9 assists, 0.5 steals and 0.3 blocks. With the likes of Blake Griffin, Spencer Hawes and Glen Davis ahead of him, the veteran will have a hard time getting on the court.
Fri May 9 201421:04Turkoglu (back) not looking good for series
Hedo Turkoglu (back) will not play in Game 3 on Friday and his return isn't looking good for this series.
Turkoglu's presence is actually somewhat important for a Clippers unit forced to play Jared Dudley and Glen Davis. As it stands, they're going to have to get it done on their own.

Mon May 5 201413:40Hedo Turkoglu (back) out at least two games
Hedo Turkoglu (bruised lower back) will miss at least Games 1 and 2 of the Clippers' second-round matchup vs. Portland.
Turkoglu's return date is up in the air and may lead to more playing time for Danny Granger and Jared Dudley, though they combined to play just three minutes in the Clippers' Game 7 victory on Saturday.

Thu May 1 201414:36Hedo Turkoglu (back) will not play in Game 6
Hedo Turkoglu's bruised lower back will sideline him during Game 6 on Thursday.
Turkoglu has given the Clippers a bit of perimeter firepower in under 10 minutes per game during the postseason, and his absence should mean a few extra minutes for Jared Dudley and Matt Barnes. He was expected to have an MRI but the results have not yet been disclosed, so for now we're considering him day-to-day.

Wed Apr 30 201410:01Hedo Turkoglu (back) to have MRI on Wednesday
Hedo Turkoglu is expected to have an MRI after bruising his lower back during Tuesday's win vs. the Warriors.
Turkoglu has averaged eight minutes per game in the playoffs, making 4-of-10 shots from downtown in a spot-minute role off the bench. His MRI will be performed on Wednesday and the results should be announced prior to Thursday's Game 6 in Oakland.

Wed Apr 30 201400:36Hedo Turkoglu out with back contusion
Hedo Turkoglu suffered a lower back contusion during the second half of Tuesday's game and he is doubtful to return.
He was in some pain and needed to be helped to the locker room. The Clippers have gotten a lot more out of Turkoglu than most expected, but he may miss time in the future. He'll likely be re-evaluated on Wednesday.

Mon Feb 24 201423:09Turkoglu hits four treys off the bench
Hedo Turkoglu hit four 3-point shots for 12 points, four rebounds and one assist in 15 minutes off the bench on Monday.
Pardon us if we don't race to the wire to pick him up, as one look at his game log will tell you. If he can revive his career over a longer stretch we'll let you know. After all, Jared Dudley might be as out of shape as O.J. Mayo these days.

Mon Feb 10 201401:00Hedo Turkoglu (knee) scoreless in easy win
Hedo Turkoglu (bruised knee) was scoreless with seven rebounds, three assists and one block in 12 minutes vs. the Sixers on Sunday.
Turkoglu was a true game-time decision and his knee isn't yet 100 percent recovered. That didn't matter on Sunday, as he was still able to post a +/- rating of +15 without even attempting a shot in the Clippers' romp over the Sixers. We're taking Turkoglu off the injury report, as he should be ready to go on Wednesday.
