Israeli basketball player Shalev Lugashi is in advanced negotiations to join the Ness Ziona team, according to a report from Sport 5. Lugashi, who stood out last season with Bnei Herzliya, is reportedly set to sign a one-year contract with an option for the club to terminate the deal mid-season.
The move comes as Ness Ziona seeks to strengthen its roster, having already added several notable players during the summer. The team is also dealing with an injury to key Israeli forward Adam Ariel, who is undergoing tests for a hip injury.
Last season, Lugashi averaged 9.2 points, 4.5 rebounds, 1.4 assists, and one steal per game for Herzliya, shooting 36.9% from three-point range. Despite interest from other league teams, he remained unsigned until these negotiations with Ness Ziona.
Ness Ziona's professional staff is also reportedly interested in Itay Segev and Oz Blizer, awaiting further clarity on the final roster composition after player cuts are made, as discussed by the team's Greek coach.
