Marcus Bingham Signs Two-Year Deal with Fenerbahce After Maccabi Tel Aviv Deal Falls Through
Marcus Bingham, the 26-year-old center, has officially signed a two-year contract with Turkish club Fenerbahce after a planned deal with Maccabi Tel Aviv collapsed several weeks ago. Bingham, who stands 2.13 meters tall, played last season for Unics Kazan in Russia, appearing in 54 games and averaging 15.6 points, 7.1 rebounds, and 1.4 steals per game.
Initially, Bingham was set to be one of Maccabi Tel Aviv's first signings for the 2026/27 season and had agreed to terms with the Israeli club. However, a recent missile attack in Israel led his family to veto his return, prompting him to reconsider his options. Fenerbahce stepped in, offering a reported $1.4 million contract, which Bingham accepted.
Bingham's career in Israel began after four years in college basketball in the United States. He made a strong impression with Hapoel Haifa in the 2023/24 season before moving to Hapoel Holon. In November, he transferred to Hapoel Tel Aviv for an unusually high buyout fee of $600,000. After leaving Israel this summer, he joined the Russian league and now advances to compete in the EuroLeague with Fenerbahce.
