Former UNLV star basketball player Anthony Bennett is still playing for the Turkish team Fenerbahce Instanbul despite previous reports he had been cut.

Hoops Hype Canada even tweeted Bennett and Khem Birch, another former Rebel, are playing in the EuroLeague playoffs.

Bennett is the former No. 1 overall draft pick in 2013 by the Cleveland Cavaliers. He went on to play three more NBA seasons for three different teams.
