Bruno Caboclo has emerged as one of the key basketball players on the transfer radar of Hapoel Tel Aviv B.C regarding the off-season. According to reports by Sports 5, Hapoel has made a three million dollar offer to Caboclo, hoping to tie him to a two year deal. The Brazilian superstar has a few days to make his final decision as the team looks forward to a stellar training campaign for the new season. It would be a dream for the club to finalize this deal as soon as possible.
As it stands, this proposal seems to be more feasible than any other offer that could come from a European team. Caboclo is currently a Partizan Belgrade signee, but he reportedly wants to try a new challenge, a source close to his agent has suggested. Ahead of the Olympics games, he was thought to be eying an NBA contract. The tournament saw Caboclo average 17.3 points and 7.0 rebounds.
During Brazil’s big win over Japan, he clocked an incredible performance of 33 points and 17 rebounds, sending his country to the Olympic Games quarterfinals. Although Caboclo maintained his fine form in the matchup against the United States, the Brazilian team fell 87-122. The summer was a huge moment for Hapoel Tel Aviv as the basketball club made headlines by signing talented NBA player Patrick Beverly.
Meanwhile, former Pacers guard Isaiah Wong is inching closer to joining the G League United roster for this September’s exhibition games. This was announced by the G League Invitational via X.com (formerly known as Twitter).
The 23-year-old Wong was picked by the Pacers with number 55 in last year’s draft. He penned a two-way deal with Indiana, eventually making an appearance where he scored two points within four minutes of play. Over the regular 30-game season with the Pacers NBA affiliate, Isaiah Wong averaged 14.8 points while recording 3.6 rebounds and 3.2 assists per game. The Invitational has been slated for September 4 and 6, and you can find more info on the NBA fixtures from The Sports Prophets blog.
As the official schedule for this year’s Emirates NBA Cup is about to be revealed, Zach Harper and Shams Charania of The Athletic have shared their predictions on the clubs that are likely to advance from their groups. In what is thought to be a big surprise, Harper and Shams believe that the Pelicans may survive the West Group C to advance to the next stage.
West Group C is packed with a row of squads, such as the 2023 Champions the Nuggets and the 2024 West Champions the Mavericks. Given that star men 39-years-old LeBron James, Stephen Curry, and Kevin Durant are not included in Team USA for the 2028 Olympics in
LA, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic predicts that the roster could shift rapidly with varying chances.
