Former Kentucky forward Alex Poythress is reportedly close to signing a deal with Maccabi Tel Aviv in Israel’s Winner league.
Poythress just completed a championship season with Zenit Saint Petersburg in Russia.
Here are more details on the potential new deal from Basketnews.com:
The negotiations are in an advanced stage, the sources tell BasketNews. It was previously reported that either Poythress or Joel Bolomboy were going to sign with the multi-time EuroLeague champions, and now the picture is getting clearer.
Known for his athleticism and high effort on the court, Poythress averaged 7.7 points and 4.2 rebounds for 9.8 PIR for Zenit Saint Petersburg during the EuroLeague season this year before the club was indefinitely suspended from competition due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
