Maccabi Tel Aviv has signed for one season with an option for another season Chris Jones, a 27-year-old American coordinator (1.88 m), who starred last season in a Bursaspor uniform from the Turkish league.

Coach Yannis Sapropoulos said: "Chris is a very talented player. He is a coordinator with all the characteristics, who can organize our team and our game. He is at the age and in the optimal situation to make a leap and reach not only the Euroleague, but a high-ranking team like Maccabi. I doubt he will fit in. "

Jones said: "I am excited about the opportunity that Maccabi gave me. It is a big step for me, I feel ready and I will take advantage of it. I am excited to join an organization like Maccabi and be part of the tradition, with the goal of continuing to bring championships. I have never played against exciting and passionate fans. Like the Maccabi fans and I'm glad I'm going to be a part of it. "
