Maccabi Playtika Tel Aviv officially announced the signing of the former FC Bayern Munich star. According to the announcement, the team signed the American guard to a one-year contract.

"I appreciate the opportunity to wear the Maccabi uniform and represent everything that comes with it," Hilliard said about choosing Maccabi. "A lot of great players came to Tel Aviv with high expectations for victory and I hope my teammates and I will bring the same tremendous passion and hunger to succeed after each season."

"Darrun is a proven Euroleague-level scorer with great size for the 2-3 positions," the new head coach of the team, Oded Kattash, said about the new signing.

Although the 2021-22 EuroLeague season was riddled with injuries for Hilliard, he averaged 13.7 points, 3 rebounds, and 1.8 assists for the Bavarian club. After coming to Europe from the NBA, he had previously played for Bitci Baskonia Vitoria-Gasteiz and CSKA Moscow.

Maccabi have recently announced the official departure of Scottie Wilbekin. The Israeli powerhouse has also recently signed Alex Poythress, Bonzie Colson, and Guy Pnini. According to BasketNews sources, the team has reached an agreement with Austin Hollins as well.
