Longtime NBA center Daniel Theis has officially signed a two-year contract with Maccabi Tel Aviv, the Israeli team announced today in a press release. The move had been expected, with a recent report indicating that he’d earn $2.2MM per year on his new deal.

Theis, 34, went undrafted in 2013 and continued to play in his home country of Germany for several years before arriving in the NBA in 2017 as a member of the Celtics. He ultimately appeared in 411 regular season games for Boston and five other teams from 2017-25, averaging 7.1 points, 4.7 rebounds, and 1.3 assists in 18.8 minutes per contest.

After spending the 2024/25 season with the Pelicans, Theis played for AS Monaco in ’25/26, averaging 9.9 PPG and 5.2 RPG in 34 EuroLeague games. He reached an agreement to join ASVEL earlier this offseason, but the French team is dealing with financial issues, prompting some of the free agents it hoped to sign to look elsewhere for new jobs.

In addition to signing Theis, Maccabi Tel Aviv has also emerged as a “serious” suitor for former Hawks guard Keaton Wallace, reports Donatas Urbonas of BasketNews.com.

Wallace has spent the past two seasons in Atlanta, making 84 regular season appearances and averaging 4.2 PPG, 2.1 APG, and 1.3 RPG in 12.3 MPG. The 27-year-old was on a two-way contract in 2024/25 before being promoted to the standard roster last season. He was eligible for restricted free agency this summer, but the Hawks opted not to issue him a qualifying offer worth roughly $3.1MM.

According to Urbonas, the expectation is that Wallace will continue his playing career in Europe. It’s unclear if there are additional EuroLeague teams pursuing him besides Maccabi Tel Aviv.
