Maccabi Rapyd Tel Aviv have signed Kamar Baldwin through the end of the current season, with the American guard set to join the team in the coming days. The 29-year-old (1.85m), who represents the Georgian national team, brings EuroLeague experience from Baskonia and Bayern Munich, along with mobility, quickness, athleticism and extensive familiarity with European basketball.
“Following Ife Lundberg’s injury, which unfortunately requires a lengthy absence, we worked with full intensity to find a player who could fill his place on the roster,” club chairman Shimon Mizrahi explained. “Despite the fact that this is not an easy task at this stage of the basketball season, sporting director Claudio Coldebella and the coaching staff focused on Bayern Munich player Kamar Baldwin, who has EuroLeague experience and plays as a point guard. Following successful negotiations with Bayern over his release, we expect to have the player with us in the coming days. We wish him great success.”
“Kamar is a tough player with experience in the EuroLeague and European basketball,” head coach Oded Kattash emphasized. “He can play both guard positions, and that will add depth and quality to our team.”
“I’m happy to become part of the Maccabi family. I’m excited to join the team and have this opportunity to take a step forward,” Kamar Baldwin told the club’s official website.
