Maccabi Tel Aviv's Bailey Albert Loaned to Maccabi Ra'anana for 2026/2027 Season

Bailey Albert, the 25-year-old guard-forward who holds an Israeli passport and is contracted to Maccabi Tel Aviv, has been loaned to Maccabi Ra'anana in the Israeli National League for the 2026/2027 basketball season. Albert, standing 1.96 meters tall, did not play during the previous season. Earlier, he joined Maccabi Netanya aiming to develop and prove himself in the Israeli Premier League but left without playing and then signed with Hapoel Galil Elyon, where he also did not see game time.

Albert's college career was at Loyola University, where he appeared in 48 games, starting 30, and averaged 11 points, 5.8 rebounds, and 2.3 assists over 28 minutes per game. This loan move to Ra'anana represents a new opportunity for Albert to gain playing time and further his career in Israeli basketball.
