A new chapter in Istanbul
Dwight Powell is done with the NBA for now. Fenerbahce Tarfin Istanbul has signed the 35-year-old big man, who agreed to a deal that runs through the end of the 2026-27 season.
At 2.08 meters (about 6-foot-10), Powell arrives in the EuroLeague after 12 seasons in the NBA, nearly all of them spent in Dallas. EuroLeague.net, which reported the signing, put his career total at 812 NBA appearances.

Almost a Mavericks lifer
The split is lopsided. Of those 812 games, 807 came in a Dallas Mavericks jersey between 2014 and 2026. The other five were with the Boston Celtics in 2014, before he moved to Texas and stayed.
That kind of loyalty to one franchise is rare in a league where rosters turn over every summer. Powell now trades Dallas for one of Europe’s biggest basketball clubs, just as the new season gets going.
The contract runs through the end of the current campaign, so this is a one-season commitment on both sides, a defined landing spot for a veteran who spent more than a decade in the NBA.
