Hapoel Tel Aviv Signs Zach LeDay to Two-Year Deal
This move gives Hapoel outside shooting, 4/5 positional flexibility plus EuroLeague experience to lift its lineup.
Overview
- Hapoel Tel Aviv confirmed the signing of 32-year-old forward Zach LeDay to a two-year contract running through the end of the 2027/28 season in a club announcement on its social channels.
- LeDay arrives after two seasons with Olimpia Milano where he averaged 13.1 points and 4.2 rebounds in EuroLeague play while shooting about 51.4% on two-pointers and 49.5% from three.
- The player returns to Israel after earlier professional stops with Hapoel Gilboa Galil and major European clubs including Olympiacos, Žalgiris Kaunas and Partizan Belgrade.
- Sporting director George Chinas and coach Dimitris Itoudis said LeDay will cover both power forward and center spots, provide floor spacing with outside shooting, and bring veteran leadership to the locker room.
- Hapoel frames the signing as both a basketball upgrade and a culture-building move that could change rotation patterns and spacing on offense, with observers set to watch how his 4/5 role affects the team’s competitiveness.
