Basketball club Ness Ziona is reportedly close to signing Israeli guard/forward Shalev Lugashi, who stood out last season with Bnei Herzeliya. Lugashi has agreed to terms on a one-year contract with an option for the club to terminate mid-season. The move comes as Ness Ziona deals with an injury to their senior Israeli forward, Adam Ariel, who is undergoing tests for a hip injury.
Last season, Lugashi was a key player for Herzeliya, 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, he remained unsigned until these negotiations with Ness Ziona.
Ness Ziona has had an active offseason, adding several known players. The team is also reportedly interested in Itay Segev and Oz Blizer. The club is awaiting the final roster decisions after player cuts, as discussed by the team's Greek coach.
