Amar’e Stoudemire rejoining Maccabi Playtika Tel Aviv is a matter of time, according to Israeli outlet ONE.
Stoudemire, 37, helped the Israeli powerhouse to its latest domestic championship earning the Finals MVP honors. He has agreed to terms for a second stint, notes the report. Both sides expressed willingness to renew their contract after the late conclusion of the 2019-20 season last July, and a few months forward are projected on the same track.
Giannis Sfairopoulos’ side, down 1-3 in the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague, in search of an effective in-the-paint addition recently got back in touch with Stoudemire. He is currently back home, in the USA, spending quality time with his family.
Last season, the former NBA star averaged 1.3 points per EuroLeague match over six appearances. Domestically, he pilled up 8.0 points, 4.2 rebounds, and 1.3 assists per regular-season game, and 10.4 points and 5.0 rebounds per playoffs tilt.
