Metu, a standout for Barcelona with averages of 10.5 points and 5.2 rebounds in the 2024-25 EuroLeague before his injury, faces a recovery challenge. His athleticism and scoring had made him a breakout star, raising hopes for a strong return.
Fenerbahçe’s Bold Rehabilitation Gamble
Fenerbahçe sees Metu’s potential as worth the risk, aiming to pair his rebounding and interior presence with their roster. The Turkish giants are prepared to support his rehabilitation, eyeing a 2026 comeback to bolster their EuroLeague title chase.
