Maccabi Tel Aviv has signed American-Georgian guard Kamar Baldwin through the end of the season, bolstering their backcourt following a dramatic Winner Cup victory. Baldwin, 29, joins from Bayern Munich, where he averaged 5.6 points and 1.6 assists in limited minutes this season. He previously played in the EuroLeague for Baskonia during the 2024/25 season. "Kamar is a tough player with experience in the EuroLeague and European basketball," said coach Oded Kattash. "He can play both guard positions, which will add depth and quality. I am happy to be part of the Maccabi family and excited for the opportunity to take a step forward."

The signing comes as a response to the extended absence of player Iffe Lundberg due to injury. "Following Iffe Lundberg's injury, which unfortunately requires a lengthy absence, we worked intensely to find a player who could fill his spot in the roster," explained Chairman Shimon Mizrahi. "This was not an easy task at this stage of the basketball season. Professional Manager Claudio Coldebella and the coaching staff focused on Bayern Munich's Kamar Baldwin, a point guard with EuroLeague experience. After successful negotiations with Bayern for his release, the player will join us in the coming days. We wish him great success."

Baldwin, who stands 1.85 meters tall, has also represented the Georgian national team since November 2024. His best EuroLeague game this season was against Besiktas, where he scored 14 points in 22 minutes. Bayern Munich confirmed his departure, stating he accepted an offer from another EuroLeague team.
