Maccabi Tel Aviv Secures Guard Ifa Londberg and Targets Center Reinforcements

Maccabi Tel Aviv announced the retention of guard Ifa Londberg, who joined the team during last season and became a free agent. This move brings the roster closer to completion ahead of the upcoming season, though key gaps remain, particularly at the center position. The club continues to seek an experienced center after Rishon Holmes declined to join. During July, Maccabi attempted to sign Partizan Belgrade center Bruno Fernando. Shane Hunter, who recently finished a loan spell in the Polish league, may remain with Maccabi but faces registration challenges as a new citizen alongside Will Rayman. Since Rayman has played most of the last five seasons in Israel, the club might appeal to an exceptions committee to register both players simultaneously.

In addition to bolstering the center position, Maccabi plans to strengthen the guard spot due to the likely departure of Loney Walker. Candidates include free agents Shay Milton and Jamir Young, who played last season for Partizan Belgrade and Miami respectively. The projected roster by position currently includes guards Yam Madar, Ifa Londberg, and Jimmy Clark; shooting guards John DiBartolomeo and Amit Abo; small forwards Bonzi Colson, Oshae Brissett, and Will Rayman; power forwards Jalen Hood, TJ Leaf, and Gur Lavi; and centers Roman Sorkin and Shane Hunter.
