Omri Caspi tends to retire from active play.

The Maccabi Tel Aviv forward, who in recent weeks has shown signs that he will decide to postpone his retirement for another season, is expected to end his basketball career in the coming days, according to his associates and people he spoke to in recent days.

Estimates are that if there is no surprise, Caspi will announce the end of his career as an active player.

Caspi, 33, has a contract with Maccabi Tel Aviv for another season, but the Yellows have the option of leaving the contract.

Maccabi has recently been preparing for the possibility that Caspi will decide not to retire, and the intention was to give him a cut contract from what he was supposed to earn, but the decision has apparently changed and the player is supposed to end his career.

Caspi returned to Maccabi Tel Aviv in the summer of 2019 after a ten-year NBA career.

After a great start to the 2019/20 season he suffered an injury that caused him to be out of action for about a year.

He returned to the pitches, but an illness caused him to miss another long period and only towards the end of the season did he return to orderly activity when he was an active part of Maccabi's winning the state cup and the championship.

Omri Caspi was a graduate of Maccabi Tel Aviv in the 2004/5 season and played for the team for four years, including one season, which he spent in the Hapoel Galil Elyon uniform.

At the age of 21, he was selected in the first round of the NBA Draft by the Sacramento Kings and thus became the first Israeli ever to play in the best basketball league in the world.

Among other things, Caspi played in the NBA for the great Golden State Warriors for one season, the Cleveland Cavaliers, Houston Rockets and Memphis Grizzlies.
