Point guard Max Heidegger is averaging 19.5 points, 2.9 rebounds and 6.3 assists this year. He would be the substitute for a Pierriá Henry who has already left Vitoria and who is awaiting the resolution of those responsible for anti-doping at FIBA. Heidegger was born in Los Angeles in 1997, has Israel and United States passport and trained at the University of Santa Barbara. Then Maccabi took over his services and he went on loan to Bnei Herzliya.
After his journey in Hebrew lands, he tried his luck in Germany playing for Oldenburg where he put up good numbers (18.3 points and 4.5 assists on average) arousing interest in other franchises throughout Europe. in german lands He played the country’s league and the Champions League, the third European competition. This past summer he signed for the Turkish team Merkezefendi, from Denizli, located between Bursa and Antalya. The platform EuroHoops advanced interest yesterday.
The exit clause is around 130,000 euros but the club from Vitoria is trying to make it cheaper. Henry had a good salary, one of the highest, and Baskonia has freed itself from a good amount to pay. But the economic situation is not something to get excited about either. The relegation of Alavés to the Second Division, the economic engine of the Baskonia-Alavés Group, has weighed down all the companies linked to the entity.
It would not be the first time that Baskonia incorporates an Israeli since Lyor Eliyahu was in the Basque team in his day. He would not occupy a non-EU position and could compete in both the League and the Euroleague. If the operation is not closed, other possibilities would have to be sought, but the intention is to do it fairly quickly.. The Copa del Rey is just around the corner and the people of Vitoria face it with the desire to give the bell a bang.
