"Our Fenerbahçe Tarfin Men's Basketball Team has reached an agreement with Canadian big man Dwight Powell (2.08cm - 1991), who last wore the Dallas Mavericks jersey in the NBA and can play in the forward and center positions, until the end of the season.
Born in Toronto on July 20, 1991, Powell began his college career with Stanford University. In his first year at university, Dwight Powell started in 26 of 31 games and averaged 8.1 points and 5.2 rebounds. With his performance in the 2012-13 season, Powell won the PAC-12 Most Improved Player of the Year award and averaged 14.9 points and 8.4 rebounds in 34 games. In his final year at university, his averages of 14.0 points and 6.9 rebounds carried the successful player to the All-Pac-12 first team of the year.
Selected 45th overall by the Charlotte Hornets in the 2014 NBA Draft, Powell's rights were transferred to the Cleveland Cavaliers. Dwight Powell, who competed with the Cavaliers in the summer league, then headed to the Boston Celtics in September. During his time wearing the Boston Celtics jersey, he played on a two-way contract with Maine Red Claws, one of the NBA G League teams.
Dwight Powell, who moved from the Boston Celtics to the Dallas Mavericks along with Rajon Rondo in December 2015, broke his career record in 2019 with 26 points against the Washington Wizards. In the 2021-22 season, he made history as one of five players to achieve this in the NBA by playing in 82 games. The Canadian player played in the NBA Finals with the Dallas Mavericks jersey in the 2023-24 season.
We say 'Welcome to our family!' to Dwight Powell and wish him success in our striped jersey. "
