Hapoel Eilat has filed a lawsuit with the FIBA Arbitration Institute (BAT) against Josh Nibo for breach of contract, "Israel Today" first learned.
The team claims that the player's departure from Israel during the Wall Guard operation in May 2021 caused damage for the team, in part because it brought another player in its place.
The 24-year-old Nibo provided a great season in the Eilat uniform and thanks to it he was promoted to the Euroleague last summer when he signed with Zalgiris Kaunas.
So far he is delivering a good season at the top factory on the continent with averages of 8.5 points and 6.3 rebounds per game.
The response of the player and his representatives will be brought when received.
Were we wrong?
Fixed!
