Shalev Lugashi Nears Deal With Ness Ziona Basketball Club
Israeli basketball player Shalev Lugashi is in advanced negotiations to join the Ness Ziona team, according to Sport 5. Lugashi stood out last season with Bnei Herzeliya, where he averaged 9.2 points, 4.5 rebounds, 1.4 assists, and one steal per game, shooting 36.9% from three-point range. His potential signing comes as Ness Ziona seeks to strengthen its roster, particularly after the injury to key Israeli forward Adam Ariel, who is undergoing medical tests for a hip injury.
Ness Ziona has had an active offseason, adding several notable players. The club is reportedly also interested in Itay Segev and Oz Blazer, awaiting further roster decisions from their coach regarding player cuts. Lugashi, despite interest from other league teams, has remained unsigned until these advanced talks with Ness Ziona.
The team, known as 'The Oranges,' aims to bolster its squad with Lugashi's addition, hoping to build on a competitive previous season.
