Maccabi Tel Aviv is reportedly attempting to sign French-American guard Kylian Hayes, but his agent, Yann Balikouzou, has dismissed the rumors as "fake news." Balikouzou stated on Friday that Hayes remains a free agent and is exploring various options. Hayes, 25, previously played for the Sacramento Kings last season, appearing in 23 games and averaging 7.9 points per game over his NBA career. He has played 239 games in the NBA. Hayes was a target for Maccabi Tel Aviv last summer before joining the Kings. He has not played in Europe since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, when he played in Germany and was selected seventh in the NBA draft, two spots ahead of Deni Avdija. His NBA career, which included a season with the Detroit Pistons where he averaged 10.3 points and 6.2 assists, has seen him move between the NBA and its development league in recent years. He is now expected to return to Europe.
