Jan Vesely: Re-ups with Fenerbahce on three-year deal
Vesely agreed last week to re-sign with Fenerbahce Ulker of Turkey on a three-year contact, EuroHoops.net reports.
Initial reports in June indicated that Vesely would rejoin Fenerbahce on a two-year deal, but his contract will apparently keep him with the Turkish powerhouse through the 2018-19 campaign. The deal largely has no bearing on Vesely's opportunity to return to the NBA, as each year of the contract contains an NBA out clause that the former No. 6 overall pick in 2011 could choose to exercise. Vesely has already stated that he will remain in Turkey in 2016-17, but the 26-year-old, who has shown signs of growth as a player since flaming out of the league following stints with the Wizards and Nuggets during the 2013-14 season, remains an international player that NBA organizations will continue to track.

Jan Vesely: Signs on with Turkish team for two more years
Vesely agreed Saturday to a two-year, six-million Euro contract extension with Fenerbahce Ulker of Turkey, Sportando reports.
Vesely, the No. 6 overall pick by the Wizards in 2011, has played with the Turkish club the last two seasons after an ill-fated three-year stint in the NBA. Despite the struggles early in his career, the 26-year-old had a breakout campaign with Fenerbahce in 2015-16 and had drawn interest from NBA teams for a possible return to North America. That still could be on the table at some point down the road, as Vesely's new contract includes a buyout clause that would allow him to explore an NBA opportunity in the summer of 2017.
