Mika Kanitz Joins Elitzur Holon Ahead of 2026/27 Season
Elitzur Holon, the reigning Israeli women's basketball league runners-up, continue strengthening their roster for the 2026/27 season by signing 18-year-old guard Mika Kanitz. Kanitz, who stands 1.65 meters tall, joins Holon from Gilboa Galil Meayanot. She gained recognition in the summer of 2024 as captain of the Israeli U16 cadet national team at the European Championship, averaging 10.3 points, 4.3 rebounds, 2.6 assists, and 2.9 steals per game.
Kanitz began her basketball career with Hapoel Emek Hefer and later moved to the Wingate Academy in ninth grade to further develop her skills before relocating north for high school. Her addition bolsters a squad that already includes players such as Eden Rotberg, Tal Lev, Stasha Carey, Maya Almaliach, Adi Cohen, Mia Gadalia, and Maya Shalo.
This signing follows several other notable acquisitions by Elitzur Holon as they prepare to challenge for the championship once again.
