Shalev Lugashi Signs Two-Month Deal with Ironi Ness Ziona
Editorial illustration generated by baba News — not a photograph of the event.

Ironi Ness Ziona has officially signed guard Shalev Lugashi to a two-month contract with an option to extend through the end of the season. The 25-year-old, 1.95m guard joins the team from Bnei Herzliya, where he averaged 9.2 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 1.1 steals last season. Lugashi expressed his excitement about joining Ness Ziona, stating, "I am happy to join Ness Ziona. I will do everything to help the team achieve its goals. Let's go Ness Ziona!"

The signing comes as a replacement for Adam Ariel, who was diagnosed with a fracture in the acetabulum of his hip joint. Ariel, who joined Ness Ziona in the summer after a strong season with Maccabi Ramat Gan, had signed a three-year contract, reportedly a record salary for an Israeli player in the team's history. He had previously injured his knee during the last national team window, recovered, and returned to full training, only to suffer this new hip injury. Ariel is expected to be sidelined for approximately six weeks and will begin his rehabilitation with the team's medical staff.
