The highest returned to Israel for another term. All the details about the Reds’ deal
Omri Manheim 25.04.24 – 17:07 In a rather surprising move, Hapoel Jerusalem announced yesterday (Wednesday) the signing of Alex Tyus until the end of the season. The 36-year-old naturalized center is returning for a fourth term in Israel, and comes amid the Reds’ immediate need for another tall player.
Hapoel Jerusalem’s step came against the background of the understanding that the team cannot remain with only one player in position number 5, Jacori Williams, with the understanding that Nimrod Levy as a backup for this position is not a long-term solution, since the optimal position for him is 4.
This pit was created due to the injury of Gabi Tchachashvili, who will not return to play this season due to the torn ligament, and in light of the situation with Zach Hankins who is now in Cyprus due to the fear of the security situation. In Jerusalem, they still don’t know if or when Hankins will return, and the group has yet to raise their hands on the matter, but as mentioned, they needed an immediate solution to the pretense.
Because of this, Hapoel Jerusalem needed a player who would arrive within a few days, in fact in Tchachashvili’s place, while at the same time the efforts to get Hankins to return are intensifying. Tios’ option came up on the table after he finished the season with Rona in the VTB league and the negotiations were closed relatively quickly.
Tios, naturally, is past his prime but comes in relatively good shape, after a full season at VTB in which he finished with decent averages of 7.8 points and 4.8 rebounds in 21 of 36 games. The fact that he was available, and above all considered an Israeli, made his option a good one for Jerusalem.
At the current stage of the season and in light of the situation in the country – teams are encountering difficulties to add quality players. Tiyos’ familiarity with Israel meant that the war in Israel was not an obstacle, and in Jerusalem they managed to find a quick solution to the problem at the chin position. He will land in Israel tonight and join the team at the end of the week.
