Hapoel HaEmek Signs Cuban Forward Karl Guzman Ahead of New Season
Hapoel HaEmek has announced the signing of Cuban forward Karl Guzman as it prepares for the upcoming basketball season. This move follows the recent addition of CJ Albi to the team. Guzman brings extensive international experience, having played from 2015 to 2020 in Cuba and Argentina before spending the last six seasons with Cluj-Napoca in Romania. During his tenure there, he faced Hapoel Jerusalem twice, scoring 8 points, 2 rebounds, and 1 assist in their first encounter, though he did not score in the second game despite playing 12 minutes.
In the most recent season, Guzman averaged 9.2 points and 4.4 rebounds in the EuroCup competition. His signing is expected to strengthen Hapoel HaEmek's roster as they aim for success in the Israeli Basketball Premier League. The club continues to build its squad ahead of the new season, signaling its ambitions with these international acquisitions.
