Point guard Pierre Henry is set to join Maccabi Tel Aviv for a tryout, aiming to secure a contract for the remainder of the season. Henry has not played competitively for four years due to a doping violation, which prevents him from returning to official games until mid-January. Despite this, he is expected to arrive in Israel next week and will participate in the team's training sessions.

Henry has been actively preparing for his comeback, regardless of whether it is with Maccabi or another team. He recently completed a 90-day training program at the Explosive Athletes Institute in Tampa, Arizona, to maintain his physical fitness. The team's decision to bring him in is considered surprising, given his extended absence from professional basketball.
