Heading to demanding games on the road through the next double-game week of the 2024-25 Turkish Airlines EuroLeague Regular Season, Devon Hall emerged as an additional option for head coach Sarunas Jasikevicius.
Hall, 29, has rejoined the training schedule of the Istanbul outfit and will travel with his teammates for the meetings with FC Barcelona on Tuesday and Paris on Thursday.
The former Virginia standout required surgery after breaking a bone in his left hand. He was injured during a home game versus FC Bayern Munich in Round 9 of the EuroLeague Regular Season. His return meets Fener preparing for Round 16 and a clash against Barca in Palau Blaugrana, before the following Round 17 fixture opposite Paris in Adidas Arena.
In contrast, Scottie Wilbekin (right knee surgery), Dyshawn Pierre (right calf), and Arturs Zagars (right foot) remain sidelined.
At 10-5 in Europe’s premier club continental competition, Fenerbahce is tied with AS Monaco and Bayern in second place, one game behind leader Paris.
Before being forced to the injury list, Hall put in 7.7 points, 3.7 assists, 1.8 rebounds, 0.4 steals, and 0.1 blocks per game over nine appearances, including five starts. Featured in six games of the Turkiye Sigorta Basketbol Super Ligi, he tallied 5.8 points and 4.3 rebounds per contest.
Following three EuroLeague campaigns with AX Armani Exchange / EA7 Emporio Armani Milan, and winning three LBA UnipolSai championships, he switched to the Turkish club as a free agent last June.
