Maccabi Tel Aviv is in talks with the American interior player Terbion Williams who plays for Alba Berlin. The yellows may add the center, who was also in talks with the team during the summer, after recently his position in the German team changed with the addition of the center David McCormack. Williams did play 20 minutes and recorded 13 points and 5 rebounds in the last game against Olympiakos, but before that he got very limited minutes. The estimates in Maccabi Tel Aviv that the Terbion Williams deal will be closed. The player is expected to sign until the end of next season with an option to leave the team this summer.
Last night, after the loss to Red Star Belgrade, coach Oded Ketch said that he hopes another player will be added to the team, as the professional team was interested in bringing in an inside player two weeks ago after Hasiel Rivero tore his hamstring for the second time, an injury that also results from strain. The fear in Maccabi is that an injury to an inside player, Rivero or Wenyan Gabriel, who missed last night’s game due to a cut on his hand and is also in doubt for tomorrow’s game (Sunday, 21:00) against Hapoel Jerusalem, in the season’s money time, may cost them titles in the local framework and they are interested back themselves up.
Williams (24, 2.06) averages 10.6 points and 6.9 rebounds this season in Elba in the Euroleague and 12.1 points along with 7.3 rebounds and 3.8 assists in the German league. The center played four seasons at Purdue University, went undrafted and spent a year in the development league before joining the German Hall last season and becoming one of the best centers in the Eurocup with 14.8 points and 8.9 rebounds in the German league and a rather impressive 14.8 points, 10.8 rebounds and 4.4 assists in the secondary of Euroleague.
