Turkish wing Furkan Korkmaz won’t have to undergo surgery for fixing his Lisfranc fracture, per Keith Pompey of Philly.com.
The Philadelphia 76ers 20-year-old rookie sustained the injury on his left foot during a G-League game with the Delaware 87ers.
According to Derek Bodner of The Athletic, Korkmaz’s condition will be re-evaluated in six weeks. He will remain away from any basketball action until then.
Korkmaz signed with the Sixers this summer. He has participated in only six games so far this season.

Furkan Korkmaz (lisfranc injury) will be non-weight bearing for a minimum of the next 3 weeks, per source. He will be re-evaluated in approximately 6 weeks to determine whether he's capable of beginning rehabilitative basketball training at that time. #sixers
