Omot, 31, stands at 2.06 meters and is expected to sign with the southern Israeli team until the end of the season. He played eight games for Maccabi Ramat Gan in April 2024, averaging 15 points and 4.5 rebounds. Omot's basketball journey includes college play at Concordia, Indian Hills, and Baylor, followed by stints in the G League and professional teams across Europe, South America, Asia, and Africa, including Al Ahly of Egypt and Al Riyadi of Beirut. He joins Hapoel Eilat from Shandong Hi-Speed Kirin of China.
