- The club aims to sign two guards and possibly another player to improve the team's performance.

Maccabi Tel Aviv is urgently seeking to bolster its roster with a guard addition following a difficult week in the EuroLeague, which included a significant loss to Crvena Zvezda Belgrade and a disappointing defeat to Paris. Club officials are reportedly frustrated with the delayed pursuit of new players, with some stating that the move should have been made earlier. The team's current pace of operations is described as "extremely slow," as they continue to suffer consecutive losses, making their climb up the EuroLeague standings increasingly challenging.
Guards Nemanja Nedovic and Killian Hayes are the primary candidates being discussed for recruitment. Hayes, a French guard, is currently considered the leading option, and the club is pushing to finalize a deal with him as quickly as possible. However, Hayes has not played for several months, which presents a significant challenge, as he would need to integrate into the team's rotation rapidly without causing overload.
Coach Oded Katash expressed confidence in upcoming changes during a press conference, stating, "I am sure we will see changes soon, we will sign players." Maccabi's intention is to sign two guards, not just one, given the current situation. Furthermore, there is a possibility of acquiring an additional player for a different position to strengthen the squad and potentially improve team performance overall.
