Hapoel Jerusalem today signed US chanel Emanuel Terry by the end of the season and is expected to sign Mindaugas Copshas to be released.

Terry (23, 2.06m) played this season in the Turkish bandirma who has been releasing foreign players in recent days due to financial problems and the Reds are waiting to receive his international release before the FIFA Champions League expiry.

Terry set a great average this season at Bandirama - 12 points, 10 rebounds and nearly 2 assists per game in 32 minutes on the hardwood in the BCL. In the Turkish league, he averaged 11 points, 8 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 28 minutes on the hardwood.

In 2018, after completing college careers, Terry was not selected in the NBA Draft, but won a number of short-term contracts in Phoenix and Miami. The American came to Bandirama this season after partnering with John Holland in the G League in the Canton Charge (Cleveland Cavaliers' subsidiary), where in 20 games he scored 8.1 points and took 6.4 rebounds. Terry then moved to the Sioux Falls Skifers where he scored 16 points and took 8 rebounds per game.

Oded Ketch said after the signing: "I am very happy that Emanuel is joining us. This is a player we have been following for the summer league and we also came out to play twice this season and we were very impressed. In the crucial stages of the Champions League playoffs, and of course in the Israeli league. "
