Maccabi Tel Aviv Signs Daniel Theis, Eyes Keaton Wallace

Overview

• Maccabi Tel Aviv announced a two-year signing of 34-year-old center Daniel Theis, with reports saying the deal was reached on Wednesday and the club confirmed the contract in a team release.
• Reports cite the contract value at roughly $2.2 million per season but that figure is based on limited sourcing and has not been officially detailed by the club.
• Theis spent 2017–25 in the NBA, appearing in 411 regular-season games with career averages of 7.1 points and 4.7 rebounds, and he averaged about 9.9 points and 5.2 rebounds across 34 EuroLeague games for AS Monaco in 2025/26.
• Earlier this offseason Theis reportedly had an agreement with French club ASVEL, but published reports of ASVEL's financial problems led him to seek other options and sign for Maccabi instead.
• Maccabi has emerged as a reported “serious” suitor for guard Keaton Wallace after the Atlanta Hawks declined to extend a roughly $3.1 million qualifying offer, and observers expect Wallace to continue his career in Europe.
