Zach LeDay signed a two-year contract with Hapoel Tel Aviv. The frontcourt player who previously played for Galil/Gilboa, and since then blossomed into a leading EuroLeague performer, will earn around 5 million dollars over two years with the Reds. The 32-year-old LeDay, standing 2.02 meters tall, will join Tai Odiase and Dan Oturu who already hold contracts for next season. Jonathan Motley also holds a contract with Hapoel, yet the club will attempt to release him and locate a new team willing to assume his deal.

In the past EuroLeague season he delivered 13.1 points, 4.2 rebounds and 0.9 assists per game with Milano, alongside 10.6 points, 3.8 rebounds and 1.0 assists per game in the Italian league. He knows Israeli basketball well, having launched his European career with Hapoel Galil/Gilboa in 2017/18.

LeDay is the eleventh foreigner under contract at Hapoel for the upcoming season. Alongside the Israeli players, Tyler Ennis, Vasa Micic, Antonio Blakeney, Elijah Bryant, Collin Malcolm, Amir Coffey and Ish Wainright are also signed. Hapoel is expected to add Tomas Satoransky as well and, as mentioned, find a new home for Motley so the roster remains at eleven foreigners. Should another guard join alongside Satoransky and Micic, Tyler Ennis may well be asked to seek a new destination.
