Alex Tyus returns to Maccabi Tel Aviv until season’s end

The Israeli-American big man signs for a third stint with the Yellow-and-Blue

Maccabi Playtika Tel Aviv has officially signed Alex Tyus for the remainder of the season. The 6’8″ forward/center, a EuroLeague champion with the club in 2014, returns to provide frontcourt depth and veteran experience ahead of the Israeli League playoffs.

Tyus, now 37, previously played for Maccabi from 2013–2015 and 2017–2019, becoming a fan favorite thanks to his athleticism and rim protection. Earlier this season, he played for Pallacanestro Varese, averaging 5.4 points and 6.1 rebounds in the Italian Serie A.

This marks Tyus’ third stint with Maccabi, after a European journey that included stops at Real Madrid, Galatasaray, and ASVEL. He will wear jersey number 7 and is expected to contribute immediately down the stretch.
