Maccabi Tel Aviv Signs Daniel Theis to Two-Year Deal

Theis’s EuroLeague production with a long NBA résumé gives the defending Israeli champion size and experience for the upcoming season.

Overview

  • Maccabi confirmed a two-year contract for 34-year-old Daniel Theis on Wednesday, with media reports citing roughly $2.2 million per year though the club did not disclose financial terms.
  • Theis spent 2015–26 partly in the EuroLeague with AS Monaco, where he averaged about 9.9 points and 5.2 rebounds in 34 games, and he previously played 411 NBA regular-season games from 2017–25.
  • The player had been linked to LDLC ASVEL earlier this summer, but reports that ASVEL faced financial problems led Theis to explore other options and helped clear the way for Maccabi’s move.
  • Maccabi is also pursuing guard Keaton Wallace as a complementary signing, signaling the club wants to add both inside strength and backcourt depth for domestic and EuroLeague campaigns.
  • Theis’s arrival gives Maccabi veteran size and international experience that could change rotation patterns, reduce reliance on younger bigs, and make the team more competitive in EuroLeague matchups.
