- Maccabi Tel Aviv is targeting veteran guard Nemanja Nedovic to bolster its roster.
- The team seeks immediate improvement in decision-making and clutch play.

Maccabi Tel Aviv is actively seeking significant reinforcement for its backcourt following a 113-99 EuroLeague loss to Real Madrid. The team is particularly in need of a proven player, especially after the injury to Ife Lundberg. The prominent name resurfacing as a target is Nemanja Nedovic, a 35-year-old guard, a move confirmed by coach Oded Katash. Nedovic was reportedly close to signing with the club last summer.
Maccabi believes Nedovic's extensive EuroLeague and European basketball experience, along with his unique playing style, could greatly benefit the team, particularly alongside veteran players already on the roster. The primary goal is to acquire a player who can make sound decisions in crucial moments, take the right shots, and immediately upgrade the team's decision-making capabilities.
However, signing the Serbian guard presents challenges. As a free agent since the summer and having not played for an extended period, partly due to injury, the club must proceed with caution. If an agreement is reached, the coaching staff's main task will be to integrate him gradually into game rhythm without overexertion, given the urgency for reinforcement.
Concurrently, Maccabi Tel Aviv continues to scout the player market for other options that fit their professional and budgetary needs, aiming to stabilize the team and embark on a new path in the European competition. Last season with Monaco, Nedovic averaged 6.1 points per game, shooting 40.8% from three-point range in 13:26 minutes of play.
