Pierria Henry Nears EuroLeague Return, Linked with Maccabi

Former Baskonia and Fenerbahçe player Pierria Henry appears close to returning to EuroLeague. According to Chema de Lucas and Israeli journalist Moses Barda, the 33-year-old point guard could be back on these courts in the Maccabi Tel Aviv jersey after roughly four years.

Henry's last game was played for Baskonia in January 2023. That same month, the club suspended the player's contract. He had been penalized after a urine sample taken in a doping test following the November 2022 EuroLeague game between Baskonia and Maccabi was linked to the use, or attempted use, of a prohibited method.

FIBA made the four-year (48-month) ban official in February 2024. The ban will end in January 2027. The Court of Arbitration for Sport also rejected the appeal in 2025 and upheld the sanction. With the ban period nearing its end, Henry could return to the court within a short time.

Maccabi Tel Aviv are second from bottom in EuroLeague with 2 wins and 8 defeats. Reports say Henry could join Maccabi under these circumstances.
