Maccabi Tel Aviv is ready to welcome back an old friend. Richard Hendrix returns to Israel after leaving Unicaja Malaga with a contract until the end of 2017.
The American big man who has also a passport from FYROM despite a good start in the season, lost his role in coach Joan Plaza’s plans. However, as a member of Maccabi Tel Aviv back in the 2010-11 and 2011-12 season, Hendrix made his name in Europe and both sides are hoping that lightning can strike twice.
The player is expected to travel to Tel Aviv during the next few days and his new club is expected to announce his addition soon.
UPDATE: On the 9th of March, the deal was announced by Maccabi Tel Aviv.
