Turkey is seeking an international arrest warrant for a US basketball player – claiming he has ties to a terror organisation.

NBA star Enes Kanter, who plays for the New York Knicks, has emphatically rejected the allegations against him, tweeting: “The only thing I terrorize is the rim.

“Turkish Government can NOT present any single piece of evidence of my wrongdoing. I don’t even have a parking ticket in the US. I have always been a law-abiding resident.”

Prosecutors are seeking an Interpol Red Notice after claiming that Kanter has ties to the exiled Muslim cleric Fethullah Gulen, who was blamed for a failed coup in Turkey in 2016.

The sports star is also accused of providing financial support to Gulen’s group.
