Maccabi inks guard Jimmy Clark to multi-year deal

The contract is through the end of the 2026-27 season

Maccabi Playtika Tel Aviv announced on Wednesday that it has signed combo guard Jimmy Clark to a multi-year contract. The deal bonds the two teams through the end of the 2026-27 season. Clark (1.91 meters, 23 years old) arrives from fellow Israeli club Bnei Herzliya, where he has had an outstanding season.

Clark has averaged 14.5 points on 56.7% two-point shooting, 5.8 assists and 2.0 steals over 17 Israeli League games. He ranks fourth in the league in assists and second in steals. Earlier this season against Maccabi, Clark shined with 19 points on 5-of-6 three-point shooting, 9 assists, and 7 rebounds.

"Jimmy Clark is a young player who has already shown good ability on both sides of the court in his first year in Europe," Coach Oded Katash said of the signing. "He has a good character that suits us, he has a lot of upside, so this is a multi-year signing and it is significant for the club for years to come. He is a player who, in terms of what he brings to the court, can help us meet our goals and will help us in our games."

A native of the state of Georgia in the Unites States, Clark played college basketball at Duquesne University, which he led to the Atlantic 10 Conference championship in his senior season, 2023-24. He was twice named to the Atlantic 10 All-Defensive Team, too.
