Idan Zalmanson Nears Return to Maccabi Rishon LeZion
Israeli national team center Idan Zalmanson is reportedly close to signing with Maccabi Rishon LeZion for a second stint with the club. Zalmanson, who played the last two seasons with Hapoel Holon, is expected to leave the club despite having one year remaining on his contract. If the move materializes, he is set to sign a one-year deal with Rishon LeZion, who will cover his full salary.
Several other teams have expressed interest in the 31-year-old player, but Rishon LeZion appears to be leading the race for his signature. Zalmanson would become the fourth Israeli player signed by Rishon LeZion this summer, joining Ron Ziper, Or Cornelius, and Michael Brisker.
Last season, Zalmanson averaged 7.8 points, 2.3 assists, and 4.7 rebounds per game in 17.6 minutes of play.
