Maccabi Tel Aviv is looking to counter Hapoel’s recent moves by pursuing a pair of players with extensive NBA experience: point guard Devonte’ Graham and center Damian Jones, according to a report from One.co.il.<\/a><\/p>\n

Graham, who holds NBA career averages of 11.1 points and 4.3 assists per game, had already been in talks with several European clubs last season. He ultimately played a handful of G League games with the South Bay Lakers.<\/p>\n

Jones, an eight-year NBA veteran and two-time champion, spent the 2024\/25 campaign in China with Zhejiang Chouzhou, averaging 16.8 points, 9 rebounds, 3.1 assists, and 2 blocks per game in the CBA.<\/p>\n
