Duverioglu lost his grandmother and cousin after the devastating earthquakes that hit Turkey and Syria in early February.

Bursa published an emotional video on Twitter, with Duverioglu announcing his decision to try to get away from basketball for a while.

"I am happy to get to know you all," Duverioglu addressed his teammates. "Due to the situation I am in, I need time to find myself again. I had bad days for reasons out of my control. I wish you success for the rest of the season. I love you all. I hope we can meet again in the future."

The 29-year-old center averaged 6.9 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 9.2 PIR over 12 EuroCup games this season.

Previously, he spent six seasons with Fenerbahce, including the EuroLeague title in the 2016-17 season.

Duverioglu has also won 3 Turkish league championships, 2 Turkish cups, and 3 Turkish Super cups with Fenerbahce.
