Maccabi Tel Aviv is reportedly monitoring the situation of American guard John Konchar, who was recently released from the NBA and is also a target for Real Madrid and Olympiacos. The 30-year-old, 1.96-meter player was not drafted in 2019 but signed with the Memphis Grizzlies, playing for them until February. He was then traded to the Utah Jazz as part of a multi-player deal, and later to the Minnesota Timberwolves in August, where he was immediately waived. Konchar signed with the New York Knicks in September but was released two weeks later.
During his NBA career, Konchar played 363 regular-season games, averaging 4.3 points, 4 rebounds, and 1.5 assists, with a career three-point percentage of 34.9%. He was known as a complementary player bringing toughness, basketball IQ, and good rebounding for his size. In the 2025/26 season, he averaged 4.4 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 2.1 assists in 19.9 minutes per game, but shot only 28.3% from three-point range.
His declining offensive contribution and age are believed to have closed doors for him in the NBA, prompting him to seek a new team in the EuroLeague. Italian journalist Matteo Andreani reported Maccabi Tel Aviv's interest in Konchar.
