Overview
- Hapoel Tel Aviv announced on Thursday, July 9 that it signed 29-year-old Amir Coffey to a one-year contract running through the 2026/27 season.
- Coffey spent seven seasons in the NBA with the Los Angeles Clippers, Milwaukee Bucks and Phoenix Suns and will be playing professionally overseas for the first time.
- His production slipped in 2025/26, when he averaged about 3.2 points and 1.2 rebounds in 46 games after a midseason trade from Milwaukee to Phoenix.
- Club officials, including manager George Chinas and coach Dimitris Itoudis, framed Coffey as a multi-positional veteran who can score, rebound and defend for a team that finished 23-15 in EuroLeague play last season.
- The signing gives Hapoel a proven role player who could change its rotation mix and three-point spacing, and Coffey’s playing time and on-court role will be the key indicators to watch next season.
