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

Loney 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 return to the NBA each summer until July 15. With just eight days remaining until this deadline, reports from the United States indicate that Walker is actively engaging with interested NBA franchises. During the season, he 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 critical playoff period, coach Oded Katash chose not to include him in the foreign player roster. Walker's potential departure could impact Maccabi Tel Aviv's lineup as they prepare for the upcoming season.
