Bruno Caboclo nearing Hapoel exit: Dubai emerging as frontrunner

Caboclo is closing in on his next move as his departure from Hapoel Tel Aviv gets closer, with Dubai Basketball viewed as the top option.
Sources say there’s interest across multiple markets, but Dubai has moved to the front.

The move is tied to Sertaç Şanlı nearing an exit from Dubai, opening a spot for Caboclo in the frontcourt.
Because he hasn’t been registered in the EuroLeague, Caboclo remains eligible for an in-season switch even after Jan. 5.

The 30-year-old has not played a EuroLeague or Israeli league game this season due to health issues.
He last featured for Brazil at the 2025 FIBA AmeriCup (gold, All-Star Five) after averaging 7.4 points and 3.7 rebounds for Hapoel in last season’s EuroCup.
