According to several reports in Turkish media, Turkish center Nevriye Yilmaz has undergone surgery on her lower back and will not be available for about 6-7 weeks.

Yilmaz had some chronic discomfort in that area which was aggravated after sustaining a blow during practice.

After 7 seasons with Fenerbahce, Yilmaz moved to their archrivals during the offseason.
