Fenerbahce has made a significant profit from the departure of its star player to the NBA, as the club stands to earn a considerable sum.
Speculation had been swirling for some time about Nigel Hayes-Davis potentially making the leap to the NBA, and when it was confirmed this morning, details of the transfer fee quickly emerged.
Hayes-Davis is set to join the Phoenix Suns, where he will serve as a replacement for Kevin Durant, earning Fenerbahce an additional million euros, according to BasketNews.

Claim Now There is no doubt that this is a substantial amount, and the Turkish club could use this windfall to bring in another top-tier player as an acquisition.
On the other hand, the player himself is thrilled with the move, as he will become a part of the NBA, the world’s best league, after leaving an indelible mark in Europe.
Previously, Hayes-Davis won the EuroLeague title with Fenerbahce and was named the Final Four MVP, with Sarunas Jasikevicius’ team defeating Panathinaikos and Monaco to claim the crown.
