Despite the latest rumors that placed him in free agency, finally Anthony Bennett will end the season in the ranks of Hapoel in Jerusalem. The Israeli team has decided to extend their ‘non-guaranteed’ contract until the end of this regular season, confirmed journalist Roi Cohen.
Bennett, 28, signed for a season with Hapoel after wearing the colors of the Cangrejeros de Santurce of Puerto Rico. In his first league game, he collected 22 points, 8 rebounds and a 5/8 in triples in 23 minutes of play against Pinar Karsiyaka (84-86).
Also on the team led by coach Oren Amiel are former NBA Thon Maker (Cavaliers) and Sean Kilpatrick (Bulls).
