He has played professionally between Belgium (Antwerp Giants and Telnet Giants Antwerp B team) and Turkey (Bahcesehir and Merkezefendi).
Akyazili's team achieved a spot in the League Semifinals in 2024. He was selected for the Belgian All-Star Game in 2019.
He attended the University of Colorado until 2017, and this will be his tenth season in pro basketball.
