Hapoel Tel Aviv forward Zach LeDay achieved a significant personal milestone on Wednesday, recording his first double-double in the EuroLeague in 1,356 days. The achievement came during Hapoel Tel Aviv's victory over Virtus Bologna. LeDay finished the game with 21 points and 10 rebounds, four of which were offensive.

LeDay was instrumental in Hapoel Tel Aviv's performance, leading the team in points, rebounds, minutes played, and efficiency rating. This marks his highest efficiency rating in a Hapoel Tel Aviv uniform, surpassing previous marks of 21 against Besiktas and 22 against Panathinaikos.

The last time LeDay recorded a double-double of at least 20 points and 10 rebounds was in 2022, during a game where his former team, Baskonia, lost to Partizan Belgrade. His current double-double is his first since February 3, 2023, after more than three and a half years.

LeDay, who played both small forward and power forward positions, has seen increased playing time recently.

He started alongside Thomas Satoransky and excelled in the second half with Jacob Toppin.
