The Clippers spent the summer upgrading their frontcourt depth, signing Josh Smith and Cole Aldrich in addition to ultimately re-signing DeAndre Jordan. That leaves Ekpe Udoh, who didn’t play much last year, without a role, and it looks like the fifth-year center is headed to Turkey.

From Yahoo’s Marc Spears:

Udoh played just 3.9 minutes per game with the Clippers last season, so with their additions, it was unlikely they were going to keep him around. He hasn’t proven to be more than an end-of-the-bench big in his five seasons with the Warriors, Bucks and Clippers, so if he had an opportunity to get real minutes in Turkey, that was probably a smart move.
