Spanish basketball summary: Gran Canaria - Real Madrid 77:100/Sport1
Will Maccabi Tel Aviv succeed in thickening the squad with the buzzer?
The deadline for registering players in the current Euroleague season expires tomorrow (Wednesday) at 19:00 Israel time, and the Yellows are running a race against time in an attempt to land a new player before the deadline.
Wow!
Sport learned that the candidate for the position is Joe Thomason.
Thomason (30, 1.93) currently plays for Granada, which ranks at the bottom of the Spanish league, and has an exit clause that will allow him to be released to a Euroleague team.
He averages 14.1 points, 3.4 rebounds and 3.4 assists.
The late Lior Liubin brought Thomason to Hapoel Gilboa/Galil in the summer of 2020 in preparation for the resumption of the Premier League under the Corona epidemic, and he stayed for another season and scored 14.2 points per game. In his two seasons in Israel, he led the team to the final and semi-finals of the playoffs, and then played in Manrasa (and reached the final with them Champions League), spent a short time in Zenit St. Petersburg and finished last season in Prometheus Petras.
Already familiar with Israeli basketball.

Until a few days ago, Maccabi Tel Aviv did not think about reinforcements, but the loss to Baskonia put the system into a sense of urgency regarding the thin back line, especially against the background of the disappointment with Antonios Cleveland, the injury that bothers and limits Lorenzo Brown and the conduct of Wade Baldwin.
Now they have a short time left to complete a lightning move, so that they can land a new player in the European framework.
