Anadolu Efes Istanbul will be without veteran forward Cenk Akyol for the start of the season due to a broken foot. Akyol is scheduled to undergo surgery over the weekend for a stress fracture on the fifth metatarsal of his left foot. Akyol, a product of the team’s youth department, returned to Efes this summer after two seasons away. The 27-year-old most recently played at the 2014 FIBA Basketball World Cup in Spain, where he helped Turkey to the quarterfinals with 5.9 points per game.
