Maccabi Tel Aviv has signed American-Georgian guard Kamar Baldwin to replace the injured Efev Lundberg, the club announced Tuesday. Baldwin, who was recently released from Bayern Munich, has agreed to a contract through the end of the season with an option for an additional year, reportedly earning $300,000. He is not expected to play in the upcoming EuroLeague derby on Thursday.
Baldwin, 29, brings EuroLeague and European basketball experience, capable of playing both guard positions, according to coach Oded Kattash. "He will add depth and quality to us," Kattash stated. Chairman Shimon Mizrahi explained that the club intensely sought a replacement for Lundberg, whose injury requires a lengthy absence, and that professional manager Claudio Coldebella and the coaching staff focused on Baldwin due to his experience.
Baldwin's previous stints include playing for Baskonia in the EuroLeague and representing the Georgian national team, leading them to the EuroBasket quarterfinals last year. In his limited EuroLeague appearances for Bayern Munich last season, he averaged 6.7 points and 2.4 assists. His statistics in the German league were 7 points and 2.8 assists per game. He also previously played in Turkey and Italy.
Maccabi had also considered Pierria Henry, but he is currently serving a suspension until January 2027.
