"The family of the Maccabi Tel Aviv basketball club thanks Scottie and his wife Maria for an unforgettable experience and wishes them success along the way," the official announcement reads.

A few minutes after the two parts ended their relationship, Wilbekin posted a farewell message on his Twitter account, thanking everyone at Maccabi for the four years spent together.

Now, Wilbekin is set to sign a deal withFenerbahce Beko Istanbul.

The 29-year-old guard had one more year left on his contract with Maccabi but didn't have a release clause, meaning that it had to be negotiated with Maccabi.

Wilbekin has represented the Israeli powerhouse since 2018. Throughout his stint in Tel Aviv, he became the three-time Israeli League champion (2019, 2020, 2021).

Scottie Wilbekin was hands down one of the main factors for the great final part of the last EuroLeague regular season for Maccabi.

The American-Turkish athlete averaged 15.4 points, 2.1 rebounds, 4.1 assists, and 15.1 PIR over 35 matches during the past EuroLeague campaign.
