Tarik Biberovic, a guard for Fenerbahce, will wear the jersey of the Turkish national team, but according to the “Basketfaul” portal, he will be classified as a foreign player.
He has applied to obtain domestic player status, but his request has been denied. Ergin Ataman recently stated in an interview that the young player will get a chance at the beginning of the Eurobasket 2025 qualifiers. The full roster will be announced tomorrow.
In previous qualifiers and international tournaments, the foreign player spot was occupied by Shane Larkin or Scottie Wilbekin, but they have lost that status and will likely never play for Turkey again.
Tarik Biberovic will fill the void left by two Turkish-American stars. He can compete in the EuroBasket 2025 qualifiers as a foreign player for the Turkish national team if Ergin Ataman chooses him to be in the final 12-man roster.
This season, he is averaging 5.8 points and 1.7 rebounds per game. He is shooting over 50 percent from both three-point and two-point range and has earned the trust of Sarunas Jasikevicius.
Turkey will open their qualifiers against Italy on February 22 on the road. They will then face Iceland. Hungary is also in the group.
