“I have a job to finish here in Israel”, young Maccabi star said.

“Before I go to the U.S., I have a job to finish here in Israel,” Avdija wrote in an email to ESPN. “As a competitor I am committed to my organization and teammates to help bring a championship to Tel Aviv. We were having such a great season, so winning the title, even with the delay and without live fans, will give me a sense that the hard work paid off.” Avdija is averaging 12.3 points, 5.9 rebounds and 2.4 assists in 27 minutes per game this season.
