Kyle Allman will leave Darussafaka Lassa Istanbul and become a new player of Besiktas Emlakjet Istanbul, according to his manager Misko Raznatovic.

Raznatovic did not detail the contract, but beIN Sports Turkiye notes that the agreement is for 1.5 years.

The guard was averaging 14 points, 4 rebounds, and 3.8 assists in the Basketball Champions League, and Darussafaka did not intend to let him go.

However, financial woes faced by the club have forced them to part ways with Allman, as they have done with Mason Jones and Janis Timma. With the departure of Allman, Darussafaka now only has three foreign players in its roster.

Turkish sportscaster Ismail Senol claims that Jonah Mathews of Besiktas, who is a close friend of Allman's, was also a factor in convincing Allman to move, who received substantial offers from Turk Telekom Ankara and Lokomotiv Kuban but ultimately rejected them.

The American will join Derek Needham, Jonah Mathews, Berk Ugurlu, and Yigit Arslan in the guard rotation of Besiktas, which currently has a 6-3 record in the B Group of the EuroCup.
