Kattash: We accepted all of Killian Hayes' terms

Maccabi Tel Aviv head coach Oded Kattash confirmed that the club is very close to adding French point guard Killian Hayes to its roster. According to Kattash, the club accepted all of the player's conditions, but the transfer did not go through.

Speaking before the derby against Hapoel Tel Aviv on Sunday, Kattash stressed that they have a serious desire to sign Hayes. The head coach said, "We were very close for Hayes and we accepted all of his conditions, but it did not happen. We really wanted him." Saying that the club hopes to bring in a new player soon, Kattash added that they are closely following the guards available on the market.

One of the team's biggest problems is the congestion in the backcourt. Iffe Lundberg's injury has increased the pressure on the current players. Kattash acknowledged that the roster's positional balance is off and said they need to find a solution to fill this gap.

Stressing the heavy workload and pressure on the guards, Kattash said they expect the addition to the roster in the coming days to restore the team's balance.
