Maccabi Tel Aviv exercised the option on Othello Hunter for next season and also added an option for the 2021/22 season. Hunter was signed in the summer as a substitute for Tariq Black, but the latter's injury made him the Yellows' leading player under the baskets. Hunter has taken part in 20 of the 21 Euroleague games so far and is second in the team in points per game (10.2), second in the index (14.4) and leads the team in rebounds for the Euroleague game (6.5).

In fact, when he is 33, the veteran player is delivering his best career season. "I'm grateful to be able to wear the Maccabi jersey for another season," Hunter told the club's official website. "Anyone who knows me a little bit knows that all I want is forever and I want to do it with Maccabi. In his group. I thank the management, the owners and the Maccabi fans for welcoming me and my family with open arms. "

"This is another important step on the part of the management and the owner," added coach Janis Sparopoulos. And his winner for the rest of the way. I'm glad we're continuing together. "

In doing so, the Israeli champion continues her efforts to maintain continuity on the roster and professional staff after the contract extension of Speropolus and Scottie Wilbkin. In the near future, the Yellows are expected to make more moves and ensure the more players remain.
