The 26-year-old point guard is without a club right now.

Adams represented Hapoel Jerusalem jersey last season. He averaged 17.8 points, 4.6 rebounds, 2.9 assists, 1.3 steals, and 14.2 EFF over 9 FIBA Basketball Champions League games.

Adams posted 15.1 points, 3.4 rebounds, and 3.3 assists in 26 domestic matches.

He spent four years at UConn, and got his first taste of professional basketball with Erie BayHawks (NBA G League) in 2019-20, before making the trip overseas to Champagne Chalons-Reims.

Adams played only seven games in France, but showed how effective he could be, averaging 20.3 points, 3.1 rebounds, and 3.0 assists per game. He emerged as the top scorer of the French League at the time, but then went back to BayHawks in January 2021.

Jalen Adams can solve Maccabi's issues in the perimeter line since Darrun Hilliard is out up to four weeks due to a knee injury, while Austin Hollins' future at the Israeli powerhouse remains in question.
