The last EuroLeague transfer window expires on Wednesday, March 1 at 18.00 CET, a factor capable of speeding up the deal in order for the player to be entitled to play this season.

According to Eurohoops, Fenerbahce are offering the 27-year-old shooting guard a contract until 2025 and a monthly salary of $200,000.

Anadolu Efes Istanbul had been in touch with Dorsey for quite some time, especially after Vasilije Micic sustained a potentially season-ending injury, but discussions didn't proceed since Fenerbahce appeared.

Until a few days ago, Dorsey was a player for the Texas Legends in the G-League. In 12 games, he averaged 18.9 points, 2.7 assists, 4.6 rebounds, and 39.6% on 3-point shooting.

At the beginning of the season, he had a two-way contract with the Dallas Mavericks, however, he played in only three NBA games and averaged 3.0 ppg.

Dorsey and Fenerbahce had also been in talks last summer, with the player ultimately opting for the NBA. Now, he's set to re-join forces with Greece NT coach Dimitris Itoudis, not long after their common presence at the 2022 EuroBasket.

In over 100 EuroLeague games with Maccabi Playtika Tel Aviv and Olympiacos Piraeus, Dorsey has averaged 11.4 points, 2.5 rebounds, and 1.7 assists. Fenerbahce will be his third team in Europe.
