Shalev Lugashi Nears Deal With Israeli Basketball Club Ness Ziona
Israeli basketball player Shalev Lugashi is in advanced negotiations to join the Ness Ziona team, according to Sport 5. Lugashi, who stood out last season with Bnei Herzeliya, is expected to bolster the roster of the "Oranges," as Ness Ziona is known.
The team has had an active offseason, signing several notable players. The potential addition of Lugashi comes amid an injury to key Israeli forward Adam Ariel, who is undergoing medical tests for a hip injury. Lugashi was a significant contributor for Herzeliya last season, averaging 9.2 points, 4.5 rebounds, 1.4 assists, and 1 steal per game, shooting 36.9% from three-point range.
Despite interest from other league teams, Lugashi has remained unsigned until now. Ness Ziona is also reportedly interested in Itay Segev and Oz Blazer. The club is awaiting the final roster decisions after a player reduction planned by the team's Greek coach.
