Armoni Brooks Moves Further Away From Joining Maccabi Tel Aviv Amid Security Concerns
Maccabi Tel Aviv's pursuit of guard Armoni Brooks for the upcoming season has significantly cooled. Brooks, who played last season with Olimpia Milano and averaged 13.1 points per game in the EuroLeague, initially showed interest in joining the Israeli champions. However, after transferring this summer to Villeurbanne, he will not play there due to the club's financial issues.
Sources close to Maccabi Tel Aviv revealed that the ongoing security situation in Israel has become a major factor deterring Brooks from signing with the team. His family is reportedly worried about him playing in Israel, and despite the club's efforts to explain the current conditions, the chances of Brooks wearing the yellow jersey remain slim.
On a positive note for Maccabi, the club confirmed that Armando Bacot will be part of the roster for the next season. The team continues its search for a guard to strengthen its lineup amid these challenges.
