Former Celtics NBA Champion Oshae Brissett Signs Two-Year Deal with Maccabi Tel Aviv

Guerschon Yabusele, after a successful return to the NBA with the Philadelphia 76ers, signed a two-year deal with the New York Knicks, choosing them over the 2023 NBA champions, the Denver Nuggets, due to the quick decision window and the opportunity New York represented. Yabusele, known for his 3-and-D style, will add a physical presence off the bench for the Knicks, who recently made their first Eastern Conference Finals appearance in 25 years. Meanwhile, Oshae Brissett, a Boston Celtics champion, is continuing his professional basketball career overseas by signing a two-year contract with Maccabi Tel Aviv, a top-tier Israeli club competing in both the Ligat HaAl and EuroLeague. Brissett's move follows a challenging 2024-25 NBA season, where after declining his player option with the Celtics, he spent most of the year in the G League before a brief stint with the Philadelphia 76ers. Maccabi Tel Aviv's management praised Brissett's athleticism, versatility, and championship experience, highlighting their excitement about his fit and potential contribution to the team. At 27, Brissett aims to leverage this overseas opportunity to possibly return to the NBA in the future.
