The American center, who had played in Israel for Hapoel Eilat, made his EuroLeague debut with Zalgiris Kaunas last year.

"I am excited to return to Israel and join Maccabi's special tradition," the 24-year-old center told the club's official website after the signing.

"I will bring my investment and toughness to Tel Aviv. Let's win!" he added.

"Josh Nebo is a great athlete and an excellent rebounder," noted Maccabi coach Oded Kattash. "He's a player who improves from year to year and is on his way up."

Born in Houston, Texas, Nebo also played football when he was young, but then focused on basketball and went to Pennsylvania. In July 2020, he was signed by Hapoel Eilat, where he immediately displayed his skills. He posted 13.6 points (67% on two-point shots), 10.0 rebounds (first in the league), 1.1 blocks and 21.8 efficiency points per game.

In his Euroleague debut season with Zalgiris Kaunas, Nebo started in 17 of 28 games in which he took part and contributed 8.8 points (65% for two, ranked 12th in the factory) and 6.2 rebounds (6th place) in 22 minutes on average per evening.
