"I'm excited to join such a great organization like Maccabi," said Braimoh. "I'm ready to try my best to help the team and contribute to winning. I'm also looking forward to meeting the fans."

The 33-year-old Nigerian-American played for Tofas Bursa this season, averaging 7.8 points, 4.4 rebounds, and 2.6 PIR over eight BCL games.

The 2.03-meter big man, who can play at both power forward and center positions, competed under coach Oded Kattash at Hapoel Jerusalem in 2019-21.

"He has an amazing character and is a good teammate," Kattash said of Braimoh.

The player gives Maccabi's head coach another option in the big men's department, as Alex Poythress is likely to miss from 4 to 6 months following surgery for a torn wrist ligament.

Braimoh is a well-traveled athlete. He played college basketball for Rice University before playing professionally in the NBA G League, Qatar, Japan, New Zealand, Mexico, Germany, Russia, France, Spain, Israel, and Turkey.
