Guard Pierre Henry is currently undergoing medical examinations in preparation for joining Maccabi Tel Aviv. Henry arrived in Israel on Sunday and will be eligible to rejoin team activities on January 13, following a four-year suspension.
The suspension was imposed by FIBA in 2023 after Henry was found to have used a fake urine sample during a drug test. He cannot be officially registered with a team until the end of his ban, but he is permitted to join practices starting Friday, November 13. This is in accordance with FIBA regulations, which allow players to resume training with a team two months before their suspension concludes.
Before his suspension, Henry played for Baskonia, where in his final season (2022/23), he averaged 9.9 points and 6.2 assists per game. In their announcement of his signing, Maccabi stated that Henry is joining for a trial period and that the club intends to add another player in the coming days.
