Experienced Israeli basketball player Omri Kaspi returned to Maccabi from Tel Aviv after ten years spent in the NBA.

At the age of 16, Kaspi played for the "pride of Israel", where he started his career in 2004.

He made his debut in the Euroleague the very next season, and left for the NBA in 2009, joining the Sacramento team.

After the Kings, he played for Cleveland, Houston, and until 2017 played again in the capital of California. In the last two years, he changed the center four times and wore the jerseys of New Orleans, Minnesota, Golden State and Memphis.

"I couldn't even imagine that I would be this excited," said the 31-year-old.

"I'm coming home, to Maccabi. I was extremely young when I first wore this jersey. I'm proud to be able to do it again. This is a privilege," he said.
