Ekpe Udoh is reportedly considering a return to Europe after two seasons with the Utah Jazz.
According to Niko Varlas of EuroHoops.net, Udoh has multiple multi-year offers from different European powerhouse teams. To recall, Udoh played for Turkish club Fenerbahce from 2015 to 2017, winning the Final Four MVP in 2017 after helping the team secure the EuroLeague championship for the first time in franchise history.
Udoh's return to the NBA didn't really go as planned, as he found himself sitting on the deep end of the bench in his two years with the Jazz. He was largely seen as the third-string big man in both power forward and center spots, mostly playing garbage minutes for Utah.
He started only four times out of 114 games in his stint in Salt Lake City, averaging 2.5 points and 2.1 rebounds per contest. His best performance in the 2018-19 season came last April, posting a remarkable stat line of 14 points, 13 rebounds, five assists and four blocks against the Los Angeles Clippers — which was also his lone start of the year.
An unrestricted free agent this summer, it's unsure if the Jazz will keep Udoh or if any NBA team will be interested in his services. Utah is expected to make some key changes this offseason in hopes of improving their chances of making a deep run in the playoffs next year.
