Daniel Theis Signs with Maccabi Tel Aviv After ASVEL Deal Falls Through

Daniel Theis, a veteran NBA center, has signed a two-year contract with Maccabi Tel Aviv following complications with his previous agreement with ASVEL, a French club owned by Tony Parker.

Theis had initially been excited about joining ASVEL, particularly for the opportunity to compete in EuroLeague games. However, he expressed disappointment upon learning about the club's financial difficulties, which resulted in the loss of several key players.

In a recent interview, Theis mentioned that he primarily learned about the budget cuts through media reports and teammates, rather than direct communication from Parker, which he found frustrating. Ultimately, he is pleased with his new role at Maccabi, where he will serve as the starting center for the upcoming seasons.
