Danny Abdia in Israel (Kobi Eliyahu)

Danny Abdia finished his second season in the NBA earlier this week.

A year after the Washington Wizards finished their way to the playoffs, this season a 43:34 balance was not enough and the team finished its way already at the end of the regular season.

Abdia can be encouraged by the averages he has set at times this season and also by the fact that the season ended when he was completely healthy, having finished last season earlier than expected following a stress fracture in his leg market.

Tonight (Wednesday), Abdia landed in Israel and said at Ben Gurion Airport:

Waiting to see friends and family.

I guess I will be a month, a month and a half, work a bit in the country, and fly back to the United States to start working towards next season. "

"The 82 games I played affected me, I had moments when I was without energy, and I had a hard time recovering, it's part of the sport. In the second part of the season I had a chance to be with the ball, to produce for others. I enjoyed helping my team win big games. What to improve and I believe we will do better things later. "

"I know from the team what I need to improve according to my role next season. My goal is to come and represent the team, it's no less important. I have the right team around me, and the right system around. Integrate the rest and be fit for next season."

On the team: "We have a talented team, I'm waiting to see everyone. As for the World Cup qualifiers anything can happen, I do not know in terms of my schedule what will be, we will see what is best for me, need to rest after this season. I believe I will be able to represent The team. We need to make a very good European Championship. "

And now, to the team.

Abdia is a partner this season in all 82 regular season games, one of five players in the league who have recorded such a milestone this season.

On average per game Abdia played 24.2 minutes, scored 8.4 points on 43.2 percent from the field and 31.7 for three, was accurate from the line on 75.7 percent from shots and also averaged 5.2 rebounds, delivered 2 assists, grabbed 0.7 balls, recorded 0.5 blocks per game and also lost 1.1 balls.

Overall he finished with a plus-minus index of minus 0.8.

This is an improvement on all indices, except for the ball losses which last year averaged 0.6.

Abdia will be able to rest in Israel in the near future and then join the Israeli national team games in the Mondobasket qualifiers in June and August and will also be part of the team at the European Championships in the summer, so this year he will not play with the Washington Wizards in the summer league as general manager Tommy Shepard.
