After several flirtations in past summers, the Danish forward\u2019s path now appears to be heading definitively toward Turkey.<\/p>\n<p>According to Turkish journalist <strong>Anil Uysal<\/strong>, the agreement has been reached on a two-year basis. At 32, after his birthday on June 5, Shields would land the last major contract of his career and the chance to return to the <strong>EuroLeague Final Four<\/strong> after six years.<\/p>\n<p>A pure 201-centimeter forward, Shavon Shields joined <strong>Olimpia Milano<\/strong> in the summer of 2020, during the pandemic year. He spent six seasons in red and white, averaging double figures in EuroLeague every year except for the unlucky 2022-23 campaign, marked by physical issues.<\/p>\n<p>Captain for the last two seasons, Shields has been one of the technical and emotional symbols of Olimpia Milano\u2019s recent era. With the Milan jersey, he won <strong>4 Scudetti<\/strong>, played in one <strong>Final Four<\/strong> and reached the EuroLeague playoffs.<\/p>\n<p>His departure would come after the historic Italian treble just completed: Supercoppa, Coppa Italia and Scudetto. A winning exit, but also the end of one of the most important cycles in modern Olimpia history.<\/p>\n<p>For Milan, a new chapter now begins, with a roster set to change significantly. For Shields, Fenerbahce is on the horizon: European ambition, a major contract and another run at the top of EuroLeague.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After several flirtations in past summers, the Danish forward\u2019s path now appears to be heading definitively toward Turkey<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":146,"featured_media":497090,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_spbk_hide_featured":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[315,199,259],"tags":[],"rumors":[407],"typology":[183],"posizionamento":[],"class_list":["post-502504","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-bsl","category-euroleague","category-serie-a","rumors-basket-rumors","typology-rumors"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2026\/05\/DE9_0353.jpg","digistream_id":0,"digistream":false,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/502504","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/146"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=502504"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/502504\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/497090"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=502504"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=502504"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=502504"},{"taxonomy":"rumors","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/rumors?post=502504"},{"taxonomy":"typology","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/typology?post=502504"},{"taxonomy":"posizionamento","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posizionamento?post=502504"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
