Marcus Bingham finished his season last night, Wednesday, with Kazan after CSKA beat them 4:0 in the VTB final, and developments are now expected regarding the center, who is a candidate for Maccabi Tel Aviv. As is known, Bingham is in advanced contact with the Yellows, but it turns out that Oded Katash’s team is far from the only side looking to sign him. In addition to Maccabi, Fenerbahce is also working to acquire the former Hapoel Tel Aviv player, according to a report published today in Italy.

As reported, Maccabi has offered Bingham a two-year contract with an option for a third season, with a salary of about $900,000 per season. Bingham put together an excellent season with Kazan, averaging 15.8 points (56.4% from the field, 39.0% from three) along with 7.3 rebounds and 1.8 blocks per game in the regular season. In the playoffs, he posted similar averages of 14.9 points (57.2% from the field, 36.5% from three), along with 6.4 rebounds and 2.0 blocks per game.

As mentioned, after four years at Michigan State, the 2.08-meter center broke through with Hapoel Haifa in the 2023/24 season, and later signed with Hapoel Holon. After starting the previous season impressively in purple, he moved in November to Hapoel Tel Aviv for an unusual buyout fee of $600,000. This summer he left Israel and moved to the Russian league, which he is expected to leave this summer. EuroLeague Found a language error?
