Hapoel Tel Aviv Finalizes Core Roster for 2026/27 Basketball Season

Hapoel Tel Aviv has been actively shaping its basketball roster for the 2026/27 season under coach Dimitris Itoudis, following the departure of Yam Madar after a prolonged saga. In recent weeks, the club has secured contract extensions and new signings, signaling a clear vision for the upcoming campaign. The latest addition is veteran point guard Thomas Satoransky, who parted ways with Barcelona and is expected to join the team soon.

Previously, Hapoel Tel Aviv signed Amir Kofi, Kadin Carrington, and Zack Laidie, strengthening their lineup. The current roster is organized by position as follows: at point guard, Vasilije Micic, Thomas Satoransky, Tyler Ennis, and Yiftach Ziv (with Ziv possibly leaving); shooting guards include Antonio Blakeney, Kadin Carrington, and Bar Timor; small forwards are Elijah Bryant, Amir Kofi, Colin Malcolm (also potentially departing), and Oz Blazer; power forwards consist of Zack Laidie, Ish Wainright, and Tomer Ginat; centers are Dan Otero, Tai Odiase, Jonathan Motley, and Itay Segev.

The club is actively seeking to add an Israeli guard and another guard, and is considering replacing Jonathan Motley with a new center. These moves reflect Hapoel Tel Aviv's intent to build a competitive squad for the Israeli Basketball Premier League in the upcoming season.
