Maccabi Tel Aviv is reportedly in negotiations to sign basketball player Pierria Henry, who has not played competitively for nearly four years. Henry, 33, is currently serving a lengthy suspension for a doping violation, which began in January 2023 and will keep him sidelined until January 13, 2027. This means he would be unable to play for any team until that date.

Henry previously played for Hapoel Eilat under current Maccabi coach Oded Katash during the 2016-2017 season. He has also had stints with Fenerbahce and Baskonia in the EuroLeague, with his best season coming in 2020-2021 with Baskonia, where he averaged 10.5 points and 7.3 assists per game.

His last professional games were in the 2022-2023 EuroLeague season with Fenerbahce before his suspension. During that partial season, he averaged 9.9 points and 6.2 assists over 13 games.
