Fenerbahce Beko and Nando De Colo have agreed to a contract extension lasting through the 2021-22 season, the Turkish club announced Wednesday, on the player’s 34th birthday.
De Colo joined Fener a couple of years ago and is gearing up for his third season upon signing his new contract. He averaged 15.8 points, 3.9 assists, 3.2 rebounds, and 1.4 steals per Turkish Airlines EuroLeague game last season, his eighth in the competition.
The French guard, two-time EuroLeague champion with CSKA Moscow, follows Dyshawn Pierre as the two players having inked a contract extension in the offseason. Incoming players feature Devin Booker, Ismet Akpinar, and Marial Shayok. Also, Achille Polonara is expected to join Fenerbahce.
De Colo has spent a couple of seasons in the NBA splitting 125 appearances between the San Antonio Spurs and the Toronto Raptors. CSKA, Valencia, and Cholet make out the remaining stops of his pro career.
