Maccabi Tel Aviv's Loni Walker Set to Meet NBA Teams Ahead of Exit Deadline

Loni Walker, the leading scorer for Maccabi Tel Aviv, is expected to meet with NBA teams in Las Vegas as his contract exit deadline approaches. Walker, who signed a three-year deal with Maccabi last summer worth approximately $2.2 million, included a clause allowing him to leave for the NBA each summer until July 15. With just eight days remaining until this deadline, reports from the United States indicate that Walker will explore opportunities to return to the NBA. During the season, Walker averaged 15.2 points per game in the EuroLeague and 15.6 points in the Israeli Basketball Premier League, establishing himself as Maccabi's top scorer. However, in the crucial playoff period, coach Oded Katash chose not to include him in the foreign players' roster for the league. Walker's potential departure could impact Maccabi Tel Aviv's roster ahead of the new season.
